Dakota Dusk by Lauraine Snelling
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this book as a Kindle matchbook because I purchased the Dakota series for my Dad's gift for his 92nd birthday. I am as entertained by Snelling's books as much as he is, and this author is the only one we both enjoy. While the books are set in a different state and in an earlier time than when he lived, the lives of these Dakota settlers remind him of living on a farm in rural Ohio where he was part of an extended family, a family who lived with the strong-willed grandmother who raised my father and his siblings after Dad's mother died shortly after childbirth of her fifth living child. Dad went to one-room township schoolhouses, and this book opened up some memories about the school teachers he had.
In the afterword, Snelling tells a story of how she was informed about a mistake she made in this book. The mistake does not keep it from being entertaining.
