Free Land (1938)

Description

In the 1880’s, when adventure lay in the conquest of the prairies, David Eaton and his bride came to Dakota to claim three hundred acres of grassland. Rose Wilder Lane tells of their struggle to survive with such force that “Free Land” had become a classic frontier novel. In every detail, Free Land” comes to life because Lane grew up in the time and place of which she writes. The book embodies her belief that “living is never easy, that all human history is a record of achievement in disaster, and that our great asset is the valor of the American spirit”.
