A young woman proved up a claim on the raw Dakota prairie, running a newspaper from a shack. Edith Kohl tells of the land of the burnt thigh: the homestead shack, the fight down to grass roots, and the grit it took to hold the ground. A vivid, true tale of frontier self-reliance. Ride the prairie with a homesteader who refused to quit.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
