Jennifer, Fair Lady: A Remembrance of Times Past

By Adrienne M. Eby

On her 82nd birthday, Jennifer Johnson looks back on her life as a pioneer woman in the untamed Dakota Territory. She tells her great-granddaughter of her family's journey from their home in Minnesota to chase gold out in Montana by joining a wagon train headed west. Instead of finding gold, they settle near the confluence of the Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers where history takes place.There, she is an eyewitness to the establishment of Fort Buford and the ever-present threat of Indian attacks. More than just local history, Jenny's time in the northwestern Dakota territory includes the construction of the railroad that eventually reaches across the plains to the Pacific; the mapping of the border between the United States and Canada; the after-effects of the Battle of Little Big Horn; and the eventual surrender of Chief Sitting Bull. Through these and other events, she has the love of family and two special men who will forever change her life.Partly based on a family diary and incorporating rich historical detail, Jenny's story captures the unique pioneer spirit of the frontier.
