The Making of a Town

By: Joann Klusmeyer

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

—ABOUT THE BOOK: How can a Christmas Eve house fire in New York City have a profound effect on a corner of the mid-American prairie? Not only that, but the profundity of it all extended into WWI in Belgium, where the bloodiest battles of the war were fought in hand-to-hand combat.

The Making of a Town—Book 3 in The Sheltering Stones series—continues the story of sweeping change in the Oklahoma Territory and the world, and the influence of eight young people (plus one) all touched by one well-educated orphan from New York and her Prairie Academy. Now this next generation is striking out and building the future of Carlile Corner and the surrounding communities of Argyle, West Ridge, Enterprise, and Sentinel Rock. Who could have imagined the impact they would have on the Territory, the United States, and the World?

Do nothing out of selfish ambition, but in humility value others above yourselves. —Philippians 2:3
