A young Englishman leaves his native country in 1853 for
America to find land and have the life he's always dreamed
about. As he journeyed to the West, he worked his way to the
Illinois Prairie. Ned is thankful for the family who he begins
working for and who have befriended him in his new country.
He has never before witnessed the faith, love, and friendship
they show him.
Hannah, a young girl in this family, finds him interesting, yet
peculiar in some ways. She tries to help him become accustomed
to the prairie she loves. What else awaits him in this land? Will
she be able to help make his dream become more than he could
have ever hoped for?
Englishman on the Prairie is a realistic fictional story based
partially on real-life ancestral characters.
