About this item
by Laurie Marr Wasmund (Author)
I was born Jane Morton in Arbilot, Scotland, in 1841, but that is not who I am or where I stayed.
So begins the story of an extraordinary journey from the green fields of Scotland, through fire-ravaged Chicago, to the untamed prairies of Colorado. Relying on historical research and family stories, award-winning author Laurie Marr Wasmund has brought to life the tale of her indomitable great-great-grandmother, Jane Morton Scott. Determined to escape a life in drudgery in Arbroath, Scotland, Jane yearns for a new life in America. When she marries widower Alexander Scott, her dreams of immigrating to America take flight. After tragedy strikes, Alex, Jane, and their young family set off to Colorado Territory, where opportunity is rich, land is plentiful, and everything seems possible.
