This story takes the characteristic American traits of family devotion and the determination to succeed against odds and portrays them in a true story of a pioneer mother, Eliza Ann Brooks. Eliza was an inspiring woman living in an inspiring era, the era when America was developing westward beyond the Mississippi. She had an ideal and a motto, which form the basis of her story and which was the keynote of her life, “where there is no vision the people perish.” Her story is an example of the courage and determination to overcome hardship and despair in following an ideal.
