The All-True Travels and Adventures of Lidie Newton

by Jane Smiley

Lidie is hard to scare. We see her at twenty, making a good marriage - to Thomas Newton, a steady, sweet-tempered Yankee who passes through her hometown on a dangerous mission. The novel races alongside them into the Kansas Territory, into the maelstrom of "Bloody Kansas," where slaveholding Missourians constantly and viciously clash with Free Staters.
