6/25/2023 0 Comments Sarah agnes prine series![]() I used the information about the trip from Henry Prine's memoir but told the story through the eyes of a 16 year old Sarah. How better to get to know a teenager than to read her diary? The only connection I had to her real life was a memoir written by her brother, several years her senior, that detailed a wagon train trip from the Four Corners area (Cottonwood springs isn't near Cottonwood, AZ but up near Monument Valley) down through central AZ to Benson and east to Texas. The earliest record we have of her she would have been 16. ![]() So, as a freshman (forty years old) at a Junior College, when I got an assignment to write a short story about someone I wanted to get to know, she was the first person I thought of. All my life I heard stories about her but the facts were few. Everything I knew about her when I began writing the short story that turned into These Is My Words could have filled less than a single page. ![]() ![]() Nancy Turner: Sarah Agnes Prine was my great grandmother. ![]()
