Omschrijving

Vandemark's Folly by Herbert Quick is a novel written in the early 20th century, blending personal history with the broader story of American westward expansion. The novel is narrated by Jacobus Teunis Vandemark, known as J.T. Vandemark, who reflects on his experiences as the first settler in Vandemark Township, Iowa. Through his eyes, the reader is introduced to the trials and triumphs of pioneering life in the American Midwest during the 19th century. As the first to settle in a largely undeveloped area, Vandemark becomes the embodiment of the American pioneer spirit-determined, resilient, and driven by the hope of building a new life in the untamed wilderness. The novel captures his struggles against the land, the weather, and the isolation, as well as his efforts to forge a community from a sparse, untamed frontier. Through his memories, Vandemark also recounts the lives of other early settlers, their shared hardships, and the sense of camaraderie that arises in the face of adversity.
