Book SynopsisTrade Review“Peeling back the layers of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie series allows Miller to reveal the real Caroline Ingalls, Wilder’s mother. Not to be missed by Wilder’s grown-up fans or those who enjoy historical fiction about the settling of the American West in the late 1800s.” — Library Journal “Through assured prose, Miller puts us in those conversations, showing us the fear and uncertainty behind Wilder’s implacable, unflappable “Ma,” but also her strength and devotion to her husband and children... this is a stunning novel. Miller’s research is impeccable and her writing exquisite...” — Historical Novels Review, Editors’ Choice “Comforting, inspiring and beautifully written, Caroline is a precious addition to the story of the Ingalls family but stands on its own as a testament to the spirit, grit and courage that built America.” — Mary Jane Clark “A master of historical fiction, Miller forges Caroline Ingalls into a formidable, complex pioneer woman, and adult fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House series will delight in this portrayal of “Ma.” Beguiling, pulse-pounding historical fiction.” — Kirkus Reviews “I was entertained, transported, and inspired by Sarah Miller’s CAROLINE. Each passage was written with so much care and love, I now can’t imagine reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s series without a copy of CAROLINE close at hand.” — New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Shelley Shepard Gray “Readers who grew up cherishing the stories of Laura Ingalls Wilder will find much to savor in Caroline...Full of lyrical descriptions of the wild beauty of the Kansas countryside, Caroline is a well-researched and thoughtful look at the inner life of one of America’s most famous frontier women.” — BookPage “Now, Miller draws her [Caroline Ingalls] onto center stage, gifting readers with a beautiful portrait of a remarkable, true pioneer. This is a beautiful tribute to a mother and a family who followed their dreams and a tale that is as uplifting and real as the original Little House books.” — RT Book Reviews “A stunning and sentimental novel brimming with historical detail, Caroline grants readers a chance at a new experience with an old familiar story.” — Bustle

Oxford University Press The Literary West
Book SynopsisThe story of western literature is the story of two Wests, the one immediately and deeply persuasive, the second more complex in its intentions and effects. This anthology, gathered and introduced by distinguished western scholar Thomas J. Lyon, offers a panoramic literary range of the American west, from the romance of the mythic Wild West to the present-day creative explosion of the real, diverse west. The regional expanse of this authoritative and adventuresome selection of short stories, essays, plays, and novel excerpts stretches from the Great Plains, Texas and the Southwest, the Rocky Mountains and the Great Basin interior, to California and the Northwest. Including selections from Pedro Font, Meriweather Lewis, Willa Cather, James Fenimore Cooper, Owen Wister, Zane Grey, John Muir, Tillie Olsen, Rick Bass, Amy Tan, Sarah Winnemucca, and N. Scott Momaday, among others, the volume is organized in five main sections: Discovery and Exploration, Pioneering and Settlement, The MythicTrade Review"Distinguished western scholar Thomas J. Lyon, in editing The Literary West, has compiled an impressive array of writings on the American West, past and present....Lyon's introduction is uncommonly helpful as it presents a summary of writings west of the Mississippi, from the conquistadors to the Lone Ranger and beyond."--Texas Globe "Excellent selection of texts....The introduction by Dr. Lyon is absolutely superb--as is the Western Chronology. These two items really, 'make' the book! One could buy the book just for those!"--Dr. Denis Fournier, University of Mary "A powerful, well-made tool, one students and general readers alike can handle without feeling burdened or intimidated by length and one that provides specialists with plenty of reference material, not to mention as easy grip on both past and present. In the end, few informed readers will be able to argue with Lyon's judgments or his knowledge, much less with his refreshing willingness to take chances.. The Literary West is definitely a book made to last."--The Bloomsbury Review "No one has a better grasp of Western Literature and its relationship to the authentic history of the West than Thomas Lyon."--Stewart Udall "A tantalizing overview of western American literature from the sixteenth century to the present....A culturally and historically significant literary collection."--BooklistTable of ContentsIntroduction:The Conquistador, the Lone Ranger, and Beyond A Western Chronology, With 200 Significant Titles Kathlamet Chinook (oral tradition) "The Sun's Myth" Pedro Font[Ventura to Santa Barbara in 1776], from Pedro Font's Diary Lewis and Clark[North Dakota journals from the spring of 1805], from The Journals of Lewis and Clark John Muir"Through the Foothills with a Flock of Sheep," from My First Summer in the Sierra Clarence Dutton"The Valley of the Virgen," from Tertiary History of the Grand Canon District Sarah Winnemucca from Life Among the Piutes Hamlin Garland"Under the Lion's Paw," from Main Traveled Roads Owen Wister from The Virginian Mary Austin"My Neighbor's Field," from The Land of the Little Rain Jack London"All Gold Canyon," from Moon-face and Other Stories Zane Grey from Riders of the Purple Sage Willa Cather from O Pioneers! from My Antonia Dorothy Scarborough from The Wind Robinson Jeffers "Granite and Cypress" "Tor House" "November Surf" "Gray Weather" "Signpost" "The Answer" Luther Standing Bear"Nature," from Land of the Spotted Eagle John SteinbeckChapters 1, 2, and 3, from The Grapes of Wrath A.B.
