Johnny Stevens is a ten-year-old boy living on a farm near Polk City, Iowa, in the 1870s. He's frustrated that his life has had very little excitement, and he's worried that adventure will pass him by. That's about to change. Rugged winters and brutal summers set the stage as Johnny and his family deal with life's difficulties. Come and experience the life of a young boy on the prairie! The book is based on notes and letters from the author's great-grandfather and is the first of a series.
