The Boy Who Saved Cleveland by James Cross Giblin, Michael Dooling

4.0

Based on a true story, when "Cleaveland" was a tiny settlement of three families....the only way to get there is by boat. In 1798, Seth Doan is the only healthy person in the settlement who has avoided getting malaria....so he is charges with lugging sacks of corn to the mill, and lugging the cornmeal bacteria to Cleaveland (the original spelling). Every day. Back and forth. Keeping his family and neighbors alive.

A good picture of what early pioneers faced in settling our country.
