The Log Cabin Wedding

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Ronald Himler. After her mother's death, Elvirey suggests pairing up with Widow Aiken for harvesting. Elvirey doesn't anticipate her own jealousy of the woman, but, luckily, their mutual love of books unites them. Readers may be stumped by the dialect ("On the morrow, Bub couldn't hobble to the privy his knee had got so swole") in this story of an 1833 frontier family.
