Clean, tight, unmarked; Stated first printing; corner clipped to ffep; light pressure marks to back cover; otherwise very minimal wear; appears unread; This book startles your imagination with the courage and daring of a single woman pitted against the savage power and cruel strength of the wilderness. Her moving appreciation of nature's glory in overcoming more than seems humanly possible restores faith in the human spirit - while it sends shivers up and down your spine at the danger of her existence. In 1910, at the age of nine Olive Fredrickson watched her mother die of epilepsy. At 19 she married a trapper who led her into a life of perilous existence. As a young woman she was left with two children to face the almost unbearable cold and hunger of the far north. Against wolves, bears, floods and famine she stood alone and triumphed. And she is still grateful to God to have lived. Very Good Mass Market Paperback Warner Books 1973 New York, NY
