Acquire Red River Girl Originated By Norma Sommerdorf Rendered As Manuscript

really enjoyed that this book was written by journal entries telling you the story of how St.
Louis was founded. They young girl of the story was easy to relate

to and so lovable, It was easy to see her heartbreak and trials of growing up without a mother, I really enjoyed it. It was a great way to depicit a part of american history inside a short novel, I was torn betweenandstars, Having grown up in Minnesota and being ath grade Minnesota History teacher, I was so excited to read this book.
It has many "standards" we teach such as voyageurs, Ojibwe, Dakota, Métis, geography, growth of territories, etc.
I have never read a story like this, I thought it was wonderful to read about people traveling the RedRiver trails by oxcart, I like the Harriet Bishop tiein, I wish the story was more developed, I feel there is so much more to tell,s historical fiction from a Metis French CanadianAnishanabe, in this case girl's point of view,

We have it in the SCCS library if you're interested, It was intended for theth grade social studies class, but the reading level might be too high.
It's Augustin the northern Midwest territory and Josette Dupre has just turned thirteen, The daughter of a French trader and an Ojibwe woman, she has bigger dreams than most girls of the day, dreams of traveling East for a higher education.
But these dreams come to an abrupt halt when her mother dies, Soon after the funeral, her restless father decides to lead a wagon train traveling south to St.
Paul. Now Josette must face the reality of abandoning her dreams and leaving behind everything connected with her mother's memory.
In this engaging historical novel, a determined young girl struggles not only with the savage wilderness in which her family is forced to make a home, but with the knowledge that there is no going back.
