  Braving the Snow to Attend Class

  Imagine it is winter and you have traveled back in time to the 1880s. Snow is falling, winds are howling, and you must get to class, but you have to walk the mile to school through the prairie, in the cold. If you are lucky you might have a horse to ride or maybe catch a ride in a wagon or buggy. Little Loutie Jones would have seen this exact view, as she lived here in the 1880s with her father and mother.
