Proud of my pioneer heritage

Florence Agassiz was my great grandmother. I've heard stories over the years about her courage and strength of character (not mentioned in Ms. Bridge's version is the fact that she went on to bear John Goodfellow's eleven children)and it's a thrill to read about her in such an exciting book. The hardships of her mother's life, not simply endured but overcome by a deep need to provide a strong and proper upbringing for her children, are the most compelling theme of this story. Amazing!
