A review by jdintr
Jenny of the Tetons by Kristiana Gregory

For those traveling in the Yellowstone/Tetons area, this is a great read that will connect you with a key time period in the history of the Rockies. Carrie, the main character in the book, is orphaned by an Indian attack on her wagon train. Adopted by a trapper, Beaver Dick Leigh and his wife, Jenny (the Shoshone for whom Jenny Lake is named), Carrie has to resolve her fear of Indians, deal with snow and cholera, and find a future for herself and those she loves in the mountains.

This is an engaging read--but a quick one. It took my 12-year-old about 90 minutes to read it. If you're traveling the Oregon Trail or visiting the Teton range, it's a great, great read.
