Description
Mary Hartwell Catherwood wrote this pioneer story for young readers. The contents follow a wagon journey in early America. Chapters name a tavern, a camp meeting, and a darkened wagon. A child hears a cry in the night. Fairies, minstrels, and settlers all enter the tale.
Catherwood shows the hard, hopeful life of moving west. Families face hunger, fear, and strange new neighbors. Warm scenes balance danger on the road. The story keeps the feel of old caravan travel alive. Later heads name the Susan House and its cellar rooms. A house with log steps stands near the close.
