Great book for females of all ages!
I read "One of Fred's Girls" when in elementary school, and it is one of those books that will remain a favorite throughout your life. It tells the tale of a young girl who goes west in search of work, and works in one of Fred Harvey's legendary restaurants, and finds adventure and a husband along the way. It's a refreshing book, honest, and brings back an age of inncocence. If you are a fan of the musical "The Harvey Girls" with Judy Garland, you will love this book. If you haven't seen "The Harvey Girls" I recommend that as well! I have no idea why these books are out of print. If you local library is part of a wider library network, you may try that to obtain a copy.

Friermood's books are awesome!
I am an avid reader, and I especially love Elisabeth Friermood's work. She writes so vividly that I feel as if I am there. Sadly, however, her books are out of print. :( Even so, I whole-heartedly recommend you read her books, if you can find them!

Excellent account of 1913 flood
I read this book many years ago when I was growing up in Dayton, Ohio. I had heard tales of the 1913 flood, but reading this book at the time made it all more real to me. Very well written, and quite descriptive with the sights and sounds and sometimes smells of the time leading up to and during the flood. Brought to life places that no longer existed when I was growing up, like the old Steele High School. A few years ago I stumbled upon an old copy at a library sale and snapped it up. I came home and reread it that night. Strongly recommended to history buffs and non-history buffs!

Promises in the Attic
This book is really good. Especially if you're from Dayton. Even if you're not! I read this book when i was in about the 6th grade. it's about a girl around 16 i believe that lives through the 1913 flood in dayton. it tells of the sights and sounds of the flood along with the girls fictional family and their experiences. includes daytonview, ncr, victoria theatre etc. it's a great book!
