The result is this astonishing first-person account of a pioneer woman who braved grueling work, profound tragedy, and a pitiless wilderness (she and her family faced floods, tornadoes, fires, bears, panthers, and snakes) to protect her home in the early American South. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e An early draft of \u003ci\u003eTrials of the Earth\u003c\/i\u003e was submitted to a writers' competition sponsored by Little, Brown in 1933. It didn't win, and we almost lost the chance to bring this raw, vivid narrative to readers. Eighty-three years later, in partnership with Mary Mann Hamilton's descendants, we're proud to share this irreplaceable piece of American history. Written in spare, rich prose, \u003ci\u003eTrials of the Earth\u003c\/i\u003e is a precious record of one woman's extraordinary endurance and courage that will resonate with readers of history and fiction alike.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Back Bay Books","offers":[{"title":"Trials of the Earth: The True Story of a Pioneer Woman | Mary Mann Hamilton | Paperback | 9780316341370 | Used: Very Good | Biography 1616745","offer_id":50688600310018,"sku":"1616745","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81YhgTwo1CL.jpg?v=1791483178","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/trials-of-the-earth-the-true-story-of-a-pioneer-woman","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
