Recenzii

I came upon Laura Ingalls Wilder's prairie stories as an adult, while reading them to my son. I was as captivated by Rachel Calof's autobiography Jewish Homesteader on the Northern Plains... which I read in one sitting, mesmerized by a Jewish pioneer spirit as strong and as compelling as that of her Christian counterpart.... This beautifully written testament is a reminder that we have much to bless, every day, for a world with washing machines and sewage systems and separate rooms to put mothers-in-law.--C.

Descriere

In 1894, 18-year-old Rachel Kahn traveled from Russia to the U.S. for an arranged marriage to Abraham Calof. As North Dakota homesteaders, Rachel and Abraham carved out a life, enduring many hardships. Never sentimental, her memoir is a vital record of their struggle and triumph on the frontier. Features an Epilogue by Rachel's son, Jacob. Photos.
