(4) YA Boarding a train for Chicago, sixteen-year-old Katherine Lunden leaves her rural Wisconsin home in search of the exciting city life she reads about in the post-Civil War newspapers. Assuming the name Edith Shay from an abandoned suitcase, Katherine is fortunate to fall into the hands of kind souls in each city she visits, but her adventures, and misadventures, although too mild to seem realistic, make a pleasant story of learned self-reliance.
