Farmer Boy Goes West Review
If you know me you will know this is one of my favorite stories when I was growing up.
This book is about Almanzo Wilder and his family. It talks about his time in Spring Valley, Minnesota. It is only about his first two years there. They go there to help his mother's brother on his farm. He is ill and is unable to keep up. His father is liking the area and decides he wants to move there. His older brother and sister are in Malone, New York taking care of the farm there. As they wait for his uncle to get better (which he doesn't) they make a home there in Minnesota. He gets interested in a girl from school and tries to court her but finds out things about her to change his mind. He makes friends and enjoys being close to town to have fun with the other boys. There is a lot in this book and the author tries to keep the information true to his life even though it is a fiction book. I would say you need to read this book to learn a little more about Almanzo if you enjoyed the little house books.
