Read In the Great Quiet, author Laura Vogt based this on her great grandparents with much added era drama. "A pioneer unwaveringly endures the Oklahoma frontier in an epic adventure about a woman haunted by secrets and searching for home. A cannon booms at high noon, and the race begins in the Oklahoma land rush of 1893. Amid the crowd is Minnie Hoopes. Tenacious and fiercely independent, she is determined to endure the brutal frontier and create a life of her own." Exciting read of land run, gunfighters, Indians, pioneers, survival and friendship on the vast prairie. Great characters and reads much like the Impressionist paintings Minnie talks of.
