A great book ... you really want to see these people make it in the west, and feel bad everytime something happens to make them struggle. I'm eager to read the next books in the series.

Very riveting story of a families dreams for a bright future and the tough times they had to make those dreams come true. I have read this book before and would like to collect the whole series. The books brought me closer to my Norwegian heritage and my spiritual beliefs. I felt anticipation, anger, sadness, fear and joy as I read. I also began checking into more of my families immigration to America. You don't have to be Norwegian to enjoy this very harrowing story of survival.

2 families leave Norway for America to seek a better life by homesteading in the Dakota territory. Landing in NY the 2 Bjorklund brothers along with their wives and children instantly find the streets are not paved in gold. They catch the train for N. Dakota and get jobs in a small town until the men can find the farms of their dreams. When they start homesteading adversity, and the ability to overcome obstacles constantly thrown at them, close family ties, their hard work triumphing over those that choose the alternative, and good neighbors make this a wonderful book. I almost didn't read it thinking it might not appeal to my masculinity, but this one will appeal to all. I consider Snelling an author that makes the homesteading in N. Dakota as real to me as if I were one of the early pioneering families. I have already ordered books 2 and 3 of this series, this should give you insight into my pleasure i found within the covers of this novel. Read it I'm sure you shall enjoy it as much as I did.

Riveting beginning of pioneer series. You need to read book one before you go on to the rest - and you will want to go on to the rest of the series.
