Product Description

A story of frontier love and courage...

Newlyweds Molly and David are only sixteen and eighteen years old when they pack up their wagon and head west across the plains in search of a new homestead. At first their new life is full of promise: The wheat is high, the dugout is warm and cozy, and a new baby is born to share in their happiness. Then disaster strikes, and David must go east for the winter to find work. Molly is left alone with the baby -- with nothing but her own courage to face the dangers of the harsh prairie winter.



About the Author

Rose Wilder Lane was the daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the beloved Little House books. She was born in 1886 on a homestead claim in the Dakota Territory, similar to the one she describes in this novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't put it down., June 13, 1999
By A Customer
I went into reading this book not sure what to expect. It was reflective of the Little House books, but I was instantly hooked by the suspense of the plot and the events. Although this was meant for children, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am a huge fan of all the Little House books, and this one just earned a spot on my bookshelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Young Pioneers is a book you can not put down., June 14, 1999
By A Customer
Young Pioneers is a good book if you love reading about how our country became seltled in the west by the young, brave people like Molly and David. Rose Wilder Lane is a great author just like her mother Laura Ingalls Wilder. If you enjoy Laura's books, you will enjoy Rose's also. Young Pioneers is a great story about how life was like in the 1800s. I really enjoyed this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, July 2, 2003
By Melissa Garland "melissag915" (O'Fallon, MO United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Wonderful story, but much harsher and bleaker than her mother's own writings about settling in the West. A stunning work about a struggle for independence I couldn't even imagine.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Little House Book Improved
This book is a tad more exciting then Laura's books, it gets to the point, I suppose. A reccomended read for those who enjoy adventure and historic fiction as well.
