"Three Score Years and Ten" by Charlotte Ouisconsin Clark Van Cleve is a memoir chronicling life and experiences in the early 19th century, particularly focusing on Fort Snelling, Minnesota, and the surrounding Western territories. The text likely offers the author's personal reflections and memories, detailing her life alongside her husband, Lieutenant Nathan Clark, as they navigate the challenges and adventures of frontier living, including their connections with Native American tribes and the establishment of military posts. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to a domestic setting in Hartford, Connecticut, where a young matron awaits her husband. Their life is abruptly changed when her husband receives orders to move to Fort Snelling, leading to a determined decision by the matron to accompany him despite the dangers ahead. As the memoir unfolds, the couple embarks on a grueling journey with their infant, confronting the hardships of travel through unknown territories, the birth of new children in harsh conditions, and the building of community amidst the struggles of early settler life. The opening portion sets up the foundation for further exploration of these themes and the personal anecdotes that highlight their unique experiences in the pioneering West.

Reading ease score: 55.9 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read.
