A Settler's Year provides a rare glimpse into the lives of early American immigrants. In her book, author Kathleen Ernst, discusses the challenges and triumphs found in rural life during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries--traveling from sprawling farm to tidy crossroads village, and from cramped and smoky cabins to gracious, well-furnished homes—she describes the experience of back-straining chores, cherished folk traditions, annual celebrations, and the indomitable spirit that comprised pioneer life. A book signing will follow the program.
