Title: Dorinda
Description: When Dorinda arrived in 1843 to stay with her aunt and attend school, Chicago was an exciting place, a little city on the edge of the frontier! It had lots of people, streets and sidewalks, and even a skyscraper 3 stories high. In school, Dorinda had a lot of catching up to do, but she also made friends and, with her aunt, reached out to those who needed a helping hand or a word of encouragement. At the end of the year, Dorinda must make a choice--will she stay in Chicago or return to Indiana?
