About this listen

She’s the ordinary daughter of a low-country cattleman. Trapped in the heart of a brutal wilderness, will she sow the seeds of a lasting legacy?

South Carolina, 1827. Mary Adeline Walker is scared. Happy living in the middle of a big extended family, the sharp-eared seven-year-old can’t understand why her father and uncles are discussing moving to the dangerous Florida Territory. But though the independent girl is a quick learner, she worries the proposed fresh start won’t survive the treacherous trip to America’s newest land.

Arriving in Jefferson County during 1829’s harsh winter weather, Mary and her kin fight to build a homestead amid the climate, animals, and disease. And the resourceful pioneer’s fears only grow when she hears of growing tensions between the local government and the Seminole population.

Will she discover new depths of tenacity in the face of endless struggles?

Employing research from real-life journals, diaries, and letters, Cindy Roe Littlejohn creates an immersive window into one woman’s remarkable story. As you explore this unique mix of carefully authenticated details and meticulously crafted fiction, you’ll be amazed by the unsung moments from Florida’s rich and complex history.

Palmetto Pioneers: The Emigrants is an award-winning work of historical narrative nonfiction and the first book in the Palmetto Pioneers biography series. If you like compelling characters, preserving family stories, and exploring treacherous frontiers, then you’ll love Cindy Roe Littlejohn’s fascinating look into the past.
