Description

    Based on Marion Dane Bauer's own family history, LAND OF THE BUFFALO BONES is the diary of Mary Rodgers, known as Polly. Promising religious freedom and fertile land, Polly's father, Reverend Rodgers, moves their Baptist community from England to the Minnesota prairie in America. However, after a treacherous journey across the sea and across this country, Polly finds that there is no paradise after all. Polly, who must also adjust to her father's new wife, writes this diary with incredible heart and compassion. Fourteen-year-old Polly Rodgers keeps a diary of her 1873 journey from England to Minnesota as part of a colony of eighty people seeking religious freedom, and of their first year struggling to make a life there, led by her father, a Baptist minister.
