This fictional story follows the progress of three families of original settlers for one year starting in the Spring of 1848 after surviving the harsh winter of 1847-1848. These families worked hard to till the soil and plant crops, facing numerous challenges such as a late frost, drought, and a plague of crickets that threatened to destroy their harvest. However, flocks of seagulls saved enough of the crop to enable the settlers to survive the coming winter.
