A review by 24marsha
The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder

4.0

Sometimes I romanticize the whole pioneer experience of living off the land with hard work and determination being the primary ingredient of a successful life, but confronting the possibility of freezing to death or running out of food every single winter (but especially the extreme winter of 1880 in this book) gives me a reality check that brings me right back to knowing I would never ever make it in that scenario.
