By the Shores of Silver Lake: A Newbery Honor Award Winner Hardcover - 1953
by Laura Ingalls Wilder; Garth Williams (Illustrator)
In Dakota territory, Pa has a job in a railroad building camp and Laura, the central character in the story, is now 13.
First line
Laura was washing the dishes one morning when old Jack, lying in the sunshine on the doorstep, growled to tell her that someone was coming.
From the rear cover
The adventures of Laura Ingalls and her family continue as they move from their little house on the banks of Plum Creek to the wilderness of the unsettled Dakota Territory. Here Pa works on the new railroad until he finds a homestead claim that is perfect for their new little house. Laura takes her first train ride as she, her sisters, and their mother come out to live with Pa on the shores of Silver Lake. After a lonely winter in the surveyors' house, Pa puts up the first building in what will soon be a brand-new town on the beautiful shores of Silver Lake. The Ingallses' covered-wagon travels are finally over.
