These Is My Words: The Diary of Sarah Agnes Prine, 1881-1901, Arizona Territories by Nancy E. TurnerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
4.0/5.0 - Based on the actual diaries of her ancestor Sarah Agnes Prine, the author, Nancy E. Turner, tells us the story of a teenager who travels with her family to the Arizona Territories. She is a brave and talented young woman, who is good with a weapon, and protects her family as needed. The trail is difficult, though, and many who begin the journey don't make it to the end, including several members of her family. The diaries cover the next twenty years, during it, you can see her growth from dependent child to strong, loving mother. She continues to learn new skills and obtain as much education as she can and the language and grammar in the diary reflect that. The characters are realistic, the description of the time interesting. A good, if long, book.
