A review by susannadkm
The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder
5.0
So much hardship through one incredible winter. In this book we start to see some scenes from Almanzo’s perspective, too. There’s a remarkable moment early on when an elderly Native American goes out of his way to warn the European settlers how bad the winter will be.
