The Earthquake Winter is an exciting, suspenseful and dramatic
book. While it is a story that would interest all ages, it is
particularly appropriate for late elementary and middle school
reader. This is a tale of a fictional pioneer family living through
actual historical events, including the catastrophic earthquake of
1811. It covers a time filled with exciting new developments, such
as the steamboat, the cotton gin and the ongoing movement to the
west. Most of the factual material in the book comes from old
newspaper accounts of the time and county records. The book's
historical content makes it a valuable addition to every school
library. Notable historical figures are referenced in the story,
including Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, James Madison, and the
great Indian Chief Tecumseh. Reading about the courage of the early
pioneers in meeting both natural and man-made disasters can instill
in the young readers of today the courage to face life's problems
with the same determination and sense of hope demonstrated by the
early settlers of the American frontier. Underneath all the
excitement and adventure, it is about estrangement, reconciliation,
and the power of faith, hope and love.
