Pioneer Girl: A True Story Of Growing Up On The Prairie Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Pioneer Girl is the true story of Grace McCance Snyder. In 1885, when Grace was three, she and her family became homesteaders on the windswept prairie of central Nebraska. They settled into a small sod house and hauled their water in barrels. Together they endured violent storms, drought, blizzards, and prairie fires. Despite the hardships and dangers, Grace loved her life on the prairie. Weaving Grace’s story into the history of America’s heartland, award-winning author Andrea Warren writes not just of one spirited girl but of all the children who homesteaded with their families in the late 1800s, sharing the heartbreaks and joys of pioneer life.

Pioneer Girl offers a glimpse of a bygone era in Nebraska. The book reads similarly to the works of Laura Ingalls Wilder although "Pioneer Girl" lacks the warmth and detail of the Little House books. The book is enjoyable, but it feels threadbare - lacking emotion and lacking the miniscule details of everyday life which make a community unique.
Loved this book. Went back to that time when hardships were normal. Life was hard but everyone was always happy. I felt so inadequate after reading this. Those women worked so hard accomplished so much and had something to show for all their hard work. Great reading!
Having read Andrea Warren's previous books, especially the first verson of this book, I also enjoyed this one, especially her Afterword. Andrea does tremendous research. As a storyteller, I was thrilled she gave me permission to use her work in my presentation: Use It Up, Wear It Out, Do Without.Now, I'm reading her newest book,"Under Siege!" about three children who are telling their stories of the Civil War battle for Vicksburg.
