I read this book as a teenager, years ago, in the Readers' Digest Condensed Book series, and never forgot it. Years later, I was foraging for used books and remembered this one - looked for it and found it even better than the first time, as it was complete and unabridged. The setting is during the early years of conservation, depicting the battle between those early proponents of forestry such as Gifford Pinchot and the ever-encroaching limits of civilization - settlers trying to make a living from the forest lands (or to make a quick dollar from the sale of the lumber). I did not realize when I read the book as a child that the author was the same as the person who created "Caddie Woodlawn", also one of my favorite childhood books, but it's obvious now. Carol Ryrie Brink lived in these places and loved them. She incorporated her family memories into her stories. This made her characters come to life. The character of Meggie, growing up and becoming a strong woman through the process of trying to establish her home in the forest, is especially appealing.
