A great story of youth and picture of 1870's America
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I thought the book was very readable and held me fast for the few days it took to read it (first time 1974). I have been drawn back to it numerous times over the years. Sterling North's paints a great picture of farmlife of Wisconsin (and the midwest) in the post Civil War era: McGuffey Readers; houseraisings, etc. He also brings to light a well known naturalist in his day: Thure Kumlien (whose story itself would make an interesting book). The story itself is heartwarming with charactors that you will wish you could have met.
This book is the best I have read... It is GREAT!!!!!

Terrific Story!
