The Lone Tree
The Lone Tree recreates how the Becker family might have lived during the time our ancestors left Russia and came to settle in America. It chronicles the preparations that were made for moving, their first winter in Kansas, and how they were able to settle in and adjust to the incredible loss of loved ones due to sickness. This book should give a greater appreciation for our heritage and what it cost. While the book is fictional, we believe the historical aspect is reasonably accurate. 232 pages; paper.
