IT was always a puzzle to the little girl how the stork that brought her ever reached the lonely Dakota farm-house on a December afternoon without her being frozen; and it was another mystery, just as deep, how the strange bird, which her mother said was no larger than a blue crane, was able, on leaving, to carry her father away with him to some family, a long, long distance off, that needed a grown-up man as badly as her three big brothers needed a little sister.

About the Author “Eleanor Gates, the original of the prairie girl, left the Dakota far at the age of twelve and came with her family to California. For several years she lived on a ranch not far from Redding and many of the incidents recorded the book happened there. It was there that Miss Gates taught school. Her idle hours were spent in riding about the country and to the intimate knowledge of the trails and byways of the mountains, thus gained, she may be said to owe her launching on the uncertain sea of journalism. A reporter from a San Francisco newspaper was sent up Redding way for news of a desperado who made much good ‘copy’ in his day. Through the aid of the daring, little school mistress the bandit was traced to his hiding place and was, finally, captured. It was, no doubt, this coming in touch with the exciting side of journalism that turned Miss Gates’ thoughts toward the pencil as a means of livelihood, for, a short time after the capture, she startled her family by the announcement that she was going to San Francisco to try her fortune among the newspapers. “Miss Gates was not a ‘pronounced success’ as a journalist. It is recorded that a city editor once remarked while blue-penciling a story written by her: “That girl is either an idiot or a genius.’ If he is still in doubt, a perusal of the prairie girl’s story, that story that has set all the literary world talking, will convince him that she has in her possession, at least, a spark of the fire that never goes out. “Miss Gates’ one ambition was to take a university course and to that end she worked. She attended Stanford for a while and later entered the University of California. While there she wrote several plays, two of which were produced by the students. It was also there that she met her husband, Richard Tully, who is making a name for himself as a dramatist.” Leavenworth Macnar, “Sunset,” “A Magazine of the Border,” Vol. X, No. 1, November, 1902.

Lack of job opportunities, housing issues, money/economics, love life, family issues, etc. All of these play a role how our lives get determined. Where we come from to where we are going.Life in the late 1800's are no exception. Life was tough. Had to farm and hunt for your food, basic housing in undeveloped lands was difficult, and your only hope of love was either a large family that was a nearby neighbor or if someone you knew knew someone else who wanted a spouse.This story was interesting in telling the tale of a young lady (from birth to going off into the world) as she grew and matured. There were good times and bad, scraps and gatherings. A good window into history that we don't pay attention to anymore, that was life as people knew it. This time was a stepping block for us today.I would recommend this book to someone who would like a bit of normal, everyday living during this time period or to those with a bend towards historical information.
