About this audiobook
The story tells about the first settlers in America and the challenges they had to overcome to set their lives. It includes several narratives which deal with the struggles of those adventurous people who forced their way westward. These stories may seem to be romantic, but in fact, they offer a careful, truthful record of the part played by children in the great battles with human and natural forces in building their new homes.
