Like many Americans, Civil War widow Katie Rose Kelly was determined to make a new life for herself after the devastation of war. She was drawn to the Dakota frontier, where she claimed 160 acres and became a sheepherder.

But that was just the beginning of her journey.

As a woman alone on the wide-open prairies, she fought nature as well as powerful cattle ranchers who saw sheep as competition for grazing lands. With grit and determination, Katie built a new life, fostered new friendships, and kindled new love.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

CK Van Dam is a daughter of the Dakota prairies. With degrees in History and Journalism, she has embarked on a second career to create stories about the strong women who have built our nation and our world.

Her debut novel, Proving Her Claim, received two Spur Awards from Western Writers of America: Best Western Romance and Best First Novel. The inspiration for the book came from historical records that found 42 percent of women homesteaders successfully proved up their claims, while only 37 percent of the men received title to their lands.

Lone Tree Claim, the second book in the “Claim” series, tells the story of a Civil War widow who comes to Dakota Territory after the devastation of war. As a woman alone on the frontier, she fought nature as well as powerful cattle ranchers.

Medicine Creek Claim, her third book, is the story of two courageous sisters, Charlotte and Lizzy Ward, who start new lives on the Dakota frontier during the Civil War. Each in her own way finds a new purpose, a new life and a new love.

CK is currently working on a fourth book, Iron Horse Claim, continuing the story of Lizzy Ward, as well as a Middle Grades book about Shining Water, who appears in Proving Her Claim.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mixed Feelings

I really struggled with how to rate the book because of mixed feelings. The characters were really developed and I liked the overall story. But the part that threw me off was the incident between Katie and her boss. Her actions and romance afterwards felt like she moved on too fast from a brutal attack. I would still recommend the book to people despite my opinion on that issue.

I give this novel 5 stars! The story is beautifully written and truly captures the feeling of prairie life in the late 1800’s. The characters are believable and full of life! The story holds your interest and never lags. It’s rich in detail and romance and adventure. It’s a story that you don’t want to end! I sure hope C.K. Van Dam is working on her next Dakota frontier novel! I highly recommend this one!

Women played such an important role in the development of the American West and Katie Rose was no exception! She was the perfect companion for Jake and the Lone Tree Claim that became their home.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lone Tree
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2023
Verified Purchase
Lone Tree Claim was just ok. I found it simplistic, most likely written for a young reader. It would be a wonderful book to accompany US history in about the 7th grade. So much of America’s early days are overlooked as well as the hardships that people faced on a daily basis.
