Illustrated with black and white photographic plates. 178pp. Foxing on topedge, near fine in a very good dust jacket with several small chips and tears, and a narrow four inch chip on the front panel. "Once a school-teacher in Illinois, tuberculosis sent her to the highlands of the West, where, after five years of tent life, she married a man twenty-eight years older than herself, and as a farmer's wife on a stump farm, gallantly shouldered his burdens and her own. The story of her life with her aged and often almost helpless husband and her boy. reaches climax in the failure of the stump farm. and the removal in a heroic migration to a new homestead, remote in the wilderness of Alberta.".
