Forest Life
A sequel to *A New Home-Who’ll Follow? Or, Glimpses of Western Life*. More of the author’s fictionalized experiences on the Michigan frontier are recounted. Set in “Montacute” (Pinckney, Livingston Co., MI) in the early 1840s. Kirkland moved west with her husband to Detroit in 1835, and they founded the town of Pinckney in Southeastern Michigan in 1837. She wrote two books while in Michigan; A New Home; Who’ll Follow and Forest Life. They returned to NYC in 1843, partly because her Pinckney neighbors were not pleased with her portrayal of them. Back in New York she wrote a third book about Michigan; Western Clearings, and went on to become a highly successful novelist.
