Excerpt from The Roaring Land
There was no way of drawing the load, so he took the great gun outdoors, and the children followed him. Outside, he dropped on one knee, supported the gun with an elbow propped on the other knee, and aimed it across the prairie. The chil dren gathered behind him and saw his thin white hair blow ing over his buckskin shoulders, and they saw the heavy black barrel of the gun pointed to the west.

Seller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a captivating journey through the early 20th century, specifically the life of a family on a stump farm in the Pacific Northwest. It paints a vivid picture of a time when steamboats were the primary mode of transportation and the land was still being tamed by pioneers. The author, through the lens of their own family's experiences, brings to life the trials and tribulations of homesteading in a challenging environment, where the struggle to make a living was constant. The book delves into the various attempts at finding a profitable crop, from the initial hope of an apple orchard to raising cattle and even trying out Belgian hares and Angora goats. It examines the harsh realities of clearing land, the difficulties of navigating the waterways by steamboat, and the impact of the ever-present threat of forest fires. Through the evocative details of their daily life, the author provides a unique window into a time and place long gone, reminding us of the resilience and determination of those who came before us. The book's insights into the challenges faced by early settlers and the tenacity of the human spirit make it a compelling read for anyone interested in American history and the pioneering spirit.
