5.0 out of 5 stars
A charming romance of pioneer life in Western Pennsylvania.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Day Must Dawn (Hardcover)
The scene is Hannahstown,Pennsylvania, a "day's ride" from Pittsburgh, where the story begins in the bleak winter of 1777.This novel combines details of the daily life of a pioneer family with actual characters from the history of the area. It is recommended reading for anyone who has "roots" in early American settlements and wishes to enrich their understanding of the trials of their pioneer ancestors. Agnes Sligh Turnbull has authored many short stories and articles. The Rolling Years,Remember the End, The Wedding Bargain, and Many a Green Isle are other novels by the author which are worth reading. But, The Day Must Dawn has always been one of my favorites.

One of the best historical novels I've read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Day Must Dawn (Hardcover)
This historical novel is centered around the burning of an actual village in Western PA by indians in July of 1782.(About 40 min.fm Pittsburgh) The town is an historical landmark which you can visit complete with guided tours.It was the site of the first courthouse west of the Allegheny Mountains during westward expansion.
