True To Life As It Was from 1887 - 1888 In The Dakota Territory

Tender Mercies (Red River of the North #5) Book #5 in the "Red River Of The North" series is totally honest and lets you live through Snelling's character's eyes and hearts. I did not find it depressing in the least. After having studied genealogy and history, and loving the Christian influence in this whole series, I found it very good. As I never like to give away exactly what happens in a book, I will not do so here either. I'm reading the whole series (I mean ALL of them) again. Blessing, in the Dakota Territory has families whose lives change, as do all families. In this book you'll find a new teacher at the school, 2 marriages, the town of Blessing grows, loss of life (2 will really surprise you), a new machine for the ladies this time, and many other happenings. It is another great read by Lauraine Snelling. Another book that you won't be able to put down until you finish it.
One of the best in this series

This was my favorite book in the Red River of the North Series. This book was very true to life in the early days of the Dakota territory. The blooming love between two relatively new characters was touching. I had a really hard time putting this one down.
One of my favorites

This is one of the best series that I have ever read. It is a must see but beware, once you pick it up you will not want to put it down.
Great new character - Mary Martha

This is a very sad book at times with many deaths, but I love the new characters that were added. I think it was high time that the Pastor got a wife. Although many people complained they wanted more happiness, that wasn't the truth of homesteading or actually any lives in the 19th century.
I love these Books!

After growing up Norwegian in the Red River Valley I love these books dearly. They are such a sweet tale of how God loves his children even through the difficult times-which were many out on the frontier. Many say this book is depressing but I found it more realistic than most portraying life on the prairie.
