[Hannah · Rating 4 out of 5]

A beautiful little tale of home life on the frontier of Winnipeg in the late 1800s. The descriptive language is excellent, and it's almost like taking a quick journey in time to the little home beyond the marshes.

A brief but beautiful and poignant vignette of the hard life of settlers, and the very real faith that sustained many of them. Moving!

Interesting if you are interested in settlers near Winnipeg...just a short account of a preacher visiting a Scottish immigrant family in a log cabin. I obtained my copy from the Internet Archive.

Very short but very sweet and uplifting.

Beyond the Marshes is a very short character study of a pioneer family in Canada .Although it's a story of few words I found it inspiring!
