| Summary: | In 1894, eighteen-year-old Rachel Bella Kahn travelled from Russia to the United States for an arranged marriage to Abraham Calof, an immigrant homesteader in North Dakota. This work combines her memoir of a pioneering life on the prairie with essays that provide historical and cultural background and show her narrative to be a western tale. |
