THE COURAGE OF SARAH NOBLE

by Alice Dalgliesh ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

Frontier tales, with the authentic feel of place and time and people, have endless fascination for young and old. This one is unusual in that it harks back to a time when the wooded hills of western Connecticut were frontiers, and when settlers from Massachusetts made the slow trek, on foot and horseback, found friendly Indians, and built their cabins. Here is just such a true story of eight year old Sarah, who took the journey with her father John Noble, cooked for him, and kept house in a cave while he built the home that was to shelter her mother and the children. Then- while he went back to Massachusetts for the family, Sarah lived with the Indians and learned the give and take of kindly people, Indians or whites. It is simply told, with no embroidering of melodrama, but it carries the warmth of sincerity, and the wholesome appeal of true adventure.
