Harvest and Save

Oliver Drummond

Sinossi

Nine-year-old Elin’s summer at Cloverfield Farm becomes an unforgettable financial adventure in Harvest and Save. Each dawn, she gathers eggs, berries, and wool, entering her yields into a three-column ledger of Harvest, Sales, and Savings. When a storm decimates half her berries, Elin faces her first real loss, learning to adjust projections. With her grandmother’s guidance, she transforms raw wool into pouches that sell for twice the price, discovering the power of value-added products. By season’s end, disciplined saving, reinvestment, and community giving earn her the coveted riding boots—and teach young readers essential lessons in budgeting, loss management, and entrepreneurial creativity.

The Most Famous Women of the...

Editors Charles River

The most famous woman of the Wild West was also possibly the most colorful and mysterious. “Considered a remarkable good shot and a fearless rider for a girl of my age”, Calamity Jane claimed to be a veteran of the Indian Wars, a scout, and the wife of Wild Bill Hickok, all on the way to becoming a dime novel heroine. While all of those legends have stuck, it’s unclear to what extent if any they are actually true, and even her contemporaries doubted the authenticity of her statements.
Belle Starr likely would have been forgotten if not for the mysterious nature of her death and the attempts of dime novel writers to exaggerate her story and turn her into the female equivalent of Jesse James. On February 3, 1889, Starr was ambushed and murdered while riding home, and it’s still unclear who decided to blast her in the back and head with shotguns. That might have been the end of her story, but just months after her unsolved murder, dime novelist Richard K. Fox published Bella Starr, the Bandit Queen, or the Female Jesse James, which breathed new life into her legacy. Since then, Belle Starr has been remembered as one of the most famous women of the Wild West.
Annie Oakley would become a national celebrity in her own life for “The Little Sure Shot of the West”, learned her gun skills out of necessity, using them to hunt for food around the Cincinnati area thousands of miles away from the dusty towns, saloons and shootouts that have become symbols the Wild West. . Eventually, she would perform off and on for Buffalo Bill’s show, but she also took her exploits to Europe and even the burgeoning film industry, performing “The Little Sure Shot of the West” for Thomas Edison’s brand new kinetoscope, which could make a film. She also met dignitaries like Queen Victoria and Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany. Annie only became more famous with age, continuing with her skillful performances into her 60s
