Title: History in the First Person
Review: What an interesting view of history thru this woman homesteader's eyes. The most fascinating thing though, is her sense of humor. Sometimes people who lived in the past seemed so burdened with life that the lighter side fails to shine through. This lady had such a zest for life and she lived life to the fullest. Her friends, too! One quote I thought humorous, expressing that they were ravenously hungry: "In a short time we were eating like Lent was just over." Another time she is feeling stupid about something she does... "And then I began to think how many kinds of idiot I was." This lady's writing made you feel she was living in this century. Not stuffy and boring but very alive! You will enjoy this lady's account of being a woman homesteader. A few times she had me laughing till I had tears squirting out of my eyes!
