My Antonia
Authorship not stated
You play Jim Burden, ten years old, sent west by day coach after losing both parents inside a single year. A hired man named Jake is delivering you to grandparents you know mostly from letters, and somewhere in the forward car rides an immigrant family bound for the same county, a girl your age watching from behind the piled bedding. Black Hawk arrives in the dark. A man with a scar loads your trunk and tells you her name.
