The Redheaded Orphan

This book is a favorite of mine. When I opened it and saw John Other Day on the first page, I knew I was hooked. I grew up on the farm land once owned by this man. The story has many Minnesota landmarks and realistic events mentioned. It's a very good Minnesota Historical Fiction book. It briefly includes the Sioux Uprising and Civil War. It also deals with sensitive areas of abuse and being an orphan. I highly recommend this book and I think it sparks an interest in looking further into the history of Minnesota.
