Magic Elizabeth is one of the books from my grade school library I checked out often. The librarian got exasperated if I kept books out for more than two weeks but I sometimes felt they were my books and I was lending them to her!

The “Cabin Faces West” is my pick for the week. It is about the Hamilton family with the daughter Ann the main character. Ann can not adjust to being in the wilderness of Pennsylvania. She misses her best friend Margaret her cousin. Things improve when Arthur Scott arrives in the territory and will put a claim in and make his life there. Eventually Ann weds Arthur Scott.

I chose “The Cabin Faces West” by Jean Fritz Ann Hamilton and her family move from Gettysburgh out west to Pennsylvania. Ann is unhappy. She misses her best friend and the old way of life.One day George Washington stops through and has dinner with the Hamiltons. Ann is also happy about Arthur Scott he is building a home on the other side of the mountain. Ann is now happier and looking forward to Margaret her best friend is coming for a visit in the Spring.
