Polly Bemis by Priscilla Wegars
Imagine a childfeet permanently deformed by a cultural fetishraised in destitution; a teenager discarded by her parents, sold to a slaver, pressed into a trans-ocean voyage to a country and language entirely foreign, enduring a horseback journey for hundreds of miles through a wilderness to an isolated mining camp, consigned a new name, never to see or communicate with friends or family again, yet somehow still composing a vigorous life that endeared her to all: this is her story, definitively and meticulously captured by astute historian Dr. Wegars.More than that, it's the story of an era on a river where people sustained each other with shared work and food, words and kind considerations.
CORT CONLEY, author of River of No Return and Idaho for the Curious
