Narrative Conducive To Books Jenny of the Tetons

I picked up this book while I was in Grant Teton NP, my favorite place on earth, (so maybe I'm a little biased), but I loved it so much. It was simply written, like journal entries, but that made it so much more perfect. It felt like I was discovering the Tetons all over again. The scenes were Carrie describes her first views of the Tetons and the lakes made me tear up. But that ending. Damn. I was NOT expecting that, and it has stuck with me ever since.
This book is so special; and you can read it in just one sitting. I definitely recommend picking it up!!!

Criticize Of Books Jenny of the Tetons

I usually don't like fictionalized accounts of real people but this sweet novel was an exception. The author was very careful to not attribute words and thoughts to Beaver Dick and Jenny that were not documented as their own. By making Carrie Hill, a fictional character, the focus of the story she avoided making the real historical characters into people they were not. It was a great read--the story itself was engaging with the added benefit that I now know much more about this exceptional

This book captivated me I almost couldn't put it down! It goes to the pioneer days about a young orphan girl who hates Indians and how she goes to live with a mountain who's wife is a Teton Indian! It's a story about learning to love and finding out what forgiveness is all about.

For those traveling in the Yellowstone/Tetons area, this is a great read that will connect you with a key time period in the history of the Rockies. Carrie, the main character in the book, is orphaned by an Indian attack on her wagon train. Adopted by a trapper, Beaver Dick Leigh and his wife, Jenny (the Shoshone for whom Jenny Lake is named), Carrie has to resolve her fear of Indians, deal with snow and cholera, and find a future for herself and those she loves in the mountains.This is an

I read this as I wanted to have my 5th grader read it, since I bought it on our trip to the Tetons last summer and it fits into his history curriculum. I felt pretty neutral about it - it never captured me but I enjoyed it - but there are a few (mild) sexual references that convinced me to delay him reading it. There is also violence and an epidemic, but I think he could handle that. It is not disturbingly descriptive.

Read this with my daughter while we were in Jackson Hole, WY and Grand Teton National Park. It was really cool to read this while traveling through the same areas. Pioneer life was pretty violent and gruesome and my daughter hated the violence, suffering and death.

Didn't realize it was a youth book when I bought it, but it made for a good read anyways. These types of messages of love and acceptance are needed always.
