Doe Sia – Bannock Girl and the Handcart Pioneers
Lost in a blinding snowstorm, two brave girls join forces to survive in the wilderness. Many times the native people living in the West encountered pioneers with their covered wagons, handcarts, and herds of cattle. Most of these meetings were peaceful, but a few turned violent. The Mormon handcart pioneers traveling from Iowa City, to Salt Lake City, Utah, between 1856 and 1860 recorded their meetings with these native people.
Description
Doe Sia – Bannock Girl and the Handcart Pioneers
Doe Sia, a ten-year-old Bannock girl, became known for her bravery when she and her heroic pet, Otterdog, saved a little boy from drowning. On the other side of the world in Denmark, Emma has also earned a reputation for courage by rescuing an elderly man from a burning barn.
When Emma immigrates to America and joins the “Handcart Pioneers” she and Doe Sia meet and form an immediate bond. This bond is tested during a fierce mountain blizzard, in which Emma is sure she will die. But Doe Sia knows how to build a shelter from branches, get meat from a dead buffalo, and, most important, find her way back to her people. Together the girls face one of nature’s greatest threats. Together they must struggle to survive.
