Book excerpt: Book Five: White Indians continued Connal Lee Swinton's adventures with his Shoshone family in Great Salt Lake City in the summer of 1859. It picked up where Book Four: An Uneasy Peace, ended. Connal Lee and his family decided to spend their summer building an adobe home on the acreage given them by a grateful church and territory. They thought they were living in a peaceful, post war territory. Short Rainbow, their shaman and first wife, had a premonition. She warned her family to always carry loaded firearms, even on their family land. Their family friend, Major Robert Harris married his housekeeper, Ingrid and adopted her two sons. At their wedding reception, Connal Lee learned of silver and gold discovered in the mountains on the western edge of the Territory of Utah. These mines would soon be called the Comstock Load. They planted an orchard and small garden patch on their farmstead. The entire basin experienced another serious draught that year. The draught brought swarms of locusts into the valley. The ugly brown grasshoppers devoured everything green they could reach. Late one night a rowdy pack of fifteen drunken carousers left the bawdy houses on Whiskey Street heading back to Fort Floyd and nearby Dobie Town. They wanted more to drink so they stopped at the Globe Saloon, just down the path from Connal Lee's homestead. Since it was closed, they shot it up, then began firing at Connal Lee's tent camp glowing uphill in the full moon. Connal Lee and his family grabbed their guns and halted the drunken attack. They had the drunks arrested. With the growing influx of prospectors, adventurers, pioneers, and settlers, the Indians were forced off their traditional hunting grounds. They began attacking wagon trains and settlements in retribution. Criminals escaping the California justice system joined packs of angry renegade Indians to prey on helpless wagon trains. Adventurers from Dobie Town and deserters from Fort Floyd swelled their ranks to dangerous proportions. Because they dressed like Indians to disguise their criminal activities, the packs became known as White Indians. Returning to the city from Fort Floyd, Connal Lee and Major Harris interrupted a White Indian attack on a small wagon train on State Road. One of the survivors was a six year old orphan boy, Kyle. Kyle latched on to Connal Lee and wouldn't let go.

Book excerpt: Thomas Osborne delivers a gripping account of 1870s Ontario pioneer life. The view 16-year-old Thomas Osborne first had of Muskoka was at night, trudging alone with his even younger brother along unmarked primitive roads to find their luckless father who, in 1875, had decided to make a new start for his beleaguered family on some "free land" in the bush east of the pioneer village of Huntsville, Ontario. The miracle is that Thomas lived to tell the tale. For the next five years Thomas endured starvation, falling through the ice and freezing, accidents with axes and boats, and narrow escapes from wolves and bears. Many years later, after returning to the United States, Osborne wrote down all his adventures in a graphic memoir that has become, in the words of author and journalist Roy MacGregor, "an undiscovered Canadian classic." Reluctant Pioneer provides a brooding sense of adventure and un- sentimental realism to deliver a powerful account of pioneer life where tragedies arrive as naturally as rain and where humour resides in irony.

Book excerpt: In 1896, a Norwegian immigrant and mother of eight children named Helga Estby was behind on taxes and the mortgage when she learned that a mysterious sponsor would pay $10,000 to a woman who walked across America. Hoping to win the wager and save her family’s farm, Helga and her teenaged daughter Clara, armed with little more than a compass, red-pepper spray, a revolver, and Clara’s curling iron, set out on foot from Eastern Washington. Their route would pass through 14 states, but they were not allowed to carry more than five dollars each. As they visited Indian reservations, Western boomtowns, remote ranches and local civic leaders, they confronted snowstorms, hunger, thieves and mountain lions with equal aplomb. Their treacherous and inspirational journey to New York challenged contemporary notions of femininity and captured the public imagination. But their trip had such devastating consequences that the Estby women's achievement was blanketed in silence until, nearly a century later, Linda Lawrence Hunt encountered their extraordinary story.

Book excerpt: Following the lives of Molly and David, the 'young pioneers' who embark upon a journey to the West, this novel is a story of spiritual strength and family unity in the face of difficulty and hardship. Molly and David played together as children and said they would get married as soon as they were old enough. And sure enough, when she was sixteen and he two years older, they married, and together they set out for the West, where the country had not yet been settled and they might find good land to farm. David's father gave them a team of horses, a wagon and his blessing; Molly's parents gave blankets and pillows, a ham and a cheese and some maple sugar, a pot and a pan and a skillet, and a copy of Tennyson's Poems. With David's gun and fiddle, and Molly's needles and thread, they had all they needed. Snug in the dugout under the prairie, their baby boy was born on Molly's seventeenth birthday. Soon the wheat was ripe and high and full of promise for the baby's future, a future that would be warm and safe and bright. The grasshoppers wiped out that promise. Within two days there was no wheat left - no crop, no money, no horses, and no way of providing against the bitter winter. Simply and vividly told, this story grew out of real experience. This is a novel which has moved and fascinated readers for more than fifty years, and has been translated into twenty languages.
