Over Prairie Trails

Seven times one winter, a man drove thirty-four miles of prairie to reach his family, and made literature of it. Frederick Philip Grove's Canadian classic recounts those solitary drives across Manitoba: fog and phantom moonlight, blizzards that erased the world, a good horse's courage, and the strange beauty of snow at the edge of endurance. Each trip is its own small odyssey, told with a naturalist's eye and a father's longing for home. A masterpiece of weather, distance, and devotion. Bundle up and take the reins beside him.
