Agnes's Rescue

- The True Story of an Immigrant Girl

Bag om Agnes's Rescue

#1 in the Young American Immigrants (nonfiction) series. Experience a true American adventure through the eyes of a child who walked it. Nine-year-old Agnes hopes for a better life in the United States--but will she survive the journey to her new home? (Children 6 - 11 years, first - sixth grades) Leaving her brother in Scotland (her father already lost at sea), Agnes sails with her mother and siblings to New York in 1856. They take a train to the edge of the Western Frontier in Iowa then walk 1,200 miles with little food. Somewhere near the Continental Divide, Agnes's shoes wear out. In blizzard conditions, she must now cross the Rocky Mountains--barefoot. Set in an important era of American history, this hybrid picture book transcends culture and time, lauding the courage and faith of all who seek a better life. 1,500 read-aloud words (from Agnes Caldwell Southworth's autobiography) retold by best-selling, award-winning author and media professor Karl Beckstrand (Horse & Dog Adventures--see 60+ multicultural books--click Karl Beckstrand above) and Veara Southworth Fife.
