The New Land: A First Year on the Prairie

In The New Land, popular children's author Marilynn Reynolds offers the essence of the pioneer experience. Illustrated with gentle warmth, the book takes the young reader through the first year of one family's adventure, from the long journey by boat, train and wagon to their own plot of land on the prairie and through the many tasks that help them survive the first winter. As the seasons come full circle, The New Land captures for children the pride of accomplishment and hope for the future that was at the core of every pioneer's soul.
