Follow the widowed Margaret Ralston Kennedy (a relative of the author) in this second audiobook of the Trail of Thread series, as she journeys with eight of her thirteen children from Ohio to the Place of Kansas in 1855. A large number of American headed western in the 10 years prior to the Civil Conflict, but those who settled in Kansas endured through repeated clashes between pro-slavery and free-state fractions that gripped the territory. Told through her letters, Thimble of Dirt details the widespread hardships and infrequent joys experienced by the hardy pioneer women of Kansas, who battled to protect their own families from terrorist raids while building new homes and new lives on the huge unbroken prairie. Margaret was focused on the reason for the North, and while the male people of her family were away preventing for a free express, she valiantly defended their homestead and presented their families mutually through the savage years of Bleeding Kansas. Go through the terror of the fighting with each other and the willpower to withstand as you stake a promise alongside the ladies captured in the bloody issues of Kansas in the 1850s.
