Western Clearings (1845)

By Caroline Kirkland

Book Overview

Western Clearings is a collection of stories and sketches written by Caroline M. Kirkland and first published in 1845. The book is set in the American Midwest during the 19th century and explores the lives of pioneers and settlers who were struggling to make a living in the wilderness. The stories are based on Kirkland's own experiences living in Michigan and offer a vivid portrayal of the challenges and hardships faced by early settlers. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the experiences of women in the frontier and the second part focusing on the experiences of men. The stories are written in a humorous and satirical style, with Kirkland poking fun at the social conventions and cultural norms of the time. Western Clearings is considered a classic of American literature and a valuable historical document that provides insight into the lives of early settlers in the Midwest.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
