Little Mossback Amelia - Francis M. Fox

This book is a happy childrens story, of the life and lot of the homsteaders of Charlevoix and Emmet counties, in the beginning years of white settlement. These homsteaders were called Mossbacks, because their first temporary homes were dugouts, built into a hillside. They covered the roof dirt with moss, to repel rain, hence Mossback.
