In 1854, J. Sterling Morton and his bride, Caroline, made a honeymoon-trip to the newly-developing Nebraska Territory and set up what proved to be a life-long residency near Nebraska City where the famous Morton Lodge still stands as the focal point of Arbor Lodge State Historical Park. The book, The Mortons of Arbor Lodge, tells the story of their first five years of married life and the beginnings of J. Sterling Morton's political career, during the years 1854-1859.The black and white of history comes alive with color as the reader follows Bess Eileen Day's portrayal of the everyday lives of these people of the past. Through the lives of J. Sterling and Caroline Morton, readers will experience the fears, excitements, successes and failures of a well-to-do couple who chose the challenging life of the frontier.
