Product details
The author says that this story is based on a few pages of a memoir written from memory by Jennie Wooding when 80 years old as Jennie didn't write nor read well, only having gone through third grade. With much research, the author was able to present a slightly fictionalized version of an actual homesteader's experience.

The great love between Wes and Jennie threads itself throughout the story and sustained them throughout their joys and tribulations. Jennie, married at sixteen to Wes Wooding, a few years older, during the next eight years had two little girls and a baby boy.
They knocked around the West coast states, "gypsying" as Jennie called it, eking out a living. Wes had sore eyes, which sometimes almost blinded him. Wes and Jennie with their three little children, when moving to a new location, were allowed to use another's wagon and team to carry them and their scant belongings. While Jennie was driving, something startled the horses, and they bolted, throwing Jennie out of the wagon. Wes, unable to see, held onto the girls and the baby, but because of the speed and the roughness of the road, he lost hold of the girls who were also thrown out and killed.

This painful loss smoldered in her heart the rest of Jennie's life. After gypsying around a few years in the Puget Sound area, eking out a living, with two little boys and a new baby boy, tired of the perpetual rain and being wet, they heard about acre plots of land available for homesteading on the Pend Oreille River on the extreme northeastern side of the state of Washington. They and Wes' brother, Uriah and family, loaded up what few items they could take and caught a train from Everett, to Spokane, to Newport, where they boarded the steamboat Volunteer run by Captain Joe Cusick, who became their steadfast friend.
Forests of cedar, tamarack, aspen, cottonwood and other pine filled the land to the banks of the river, and Jennie thought it was the most beautiful place she had ever seen. Joe unloaded both families at the Tiger landing, where there were few settlers, leaving great choices of land to homestead.

Requirements to prove the homestead included a certain amount of clearing of forests, buildings such as a house, barn, outhouse, woodshed and some farm land. They picked a site away from the river so the children wouldn't drown, but next to a creek. The first few months there, Wes and Jennie felled and bucked timber to clear a garden spot as there was the framework for a house on the plot.
For the next seven years, Wes was gone most of the time looking for work in various mines and mills from Idaho to central Washington, in order to purchase what they needed like nails, windows, etc.

Jennie was a good carpenter and during those years, she raised the boys, made herself ready and birthed another baby with a little help from Wes, finished building the house, a barn, planted large gardens, and felled and split logs. The boys learned to do chores from the time they were three years old, which today would be considered impossible. One has to read the book to realize the enormity of this woman's accomplishments. Before any doctor settled in the area, she was the only healer, midwife, grew and used herbs as medicines, pushed for a school, fed her family on wild plants to supplement her garden, killed wild meat, of which there was a surplus, and sometimes the only available food.
She finally managed to buy a cow for milk, an onery cayuse to ride and pull a wagon, and almost worked herself to death doctoring the sick during a small pox epidemic. The story follows her family, as it interacted with others who settled the area from Lost Creek to Metaline, through WWI when her two eldest sons were soldiers, and up until For those having lived in the northern portion of Pend Oreille County, this novel covers most of the old timers of those days and will answer many questions about places named after people or about elders we have wondered about.
It also describes the terrible forest fires that raged through the area, the scars of which are still visible. For other readers who truly want a first hand account of pioneer life in those days, this story will certainly draw you personally in so that you live it with Jennie and her family.
