About Agnes's Rescue: The True Story Of An Immigrant Girl
Product Description #1 in the Young American Immigrants (nonfiction) series. Experience a true adventure through the eyes of a child who walked it (portrayed in the motion picture, 17 Miracles). Nine-year-old Agnes hopes for a better life in the USA—but will she survive the journey to her new home? Leaving her brother in Scotland (her father already lost at sea), Agnes sails with her mother and siblings to New York in 1856. They take a train to the edge of the Western Frontier in Iowa then walk westward 1,200 miles, with little food. Somewhere near the Continental Divide, Agnes's shoes wear out. In blizzard conditions, she must now cross the Rocky Mountains—barefoot.
