Into the Prairie: The Pioneers

Into the Prairie continues Rosanne Bittner's retelling of the growth of America through the descendants of Noah and Jess Wilde, featured in the first book of this series, Into the Wilderness. Grandson Jonah Wilde, his wife Sadie, and their three-year-old son, Paul, head into the prairies of Indiana to build on Jonah's dream of a farming empire. But an encounter with the Shawnee Indians, who believe the land still belongs to them, changes that dream forever. Paul and his mother are led to Tippecanoe, where they are placed at the mercy of a Potawatomi leader, Windigo, and of the famous Shawnee leader, Tecumseh. Will they have the strength-and the luck-to survive when their dreams are destroyed?
