Northwest Florida, the part they call the panhandle, was unsettled country in the late 1800s. The government granted forty acres of land to families who were willing to move into the area, clear land and settle there. Maude Basford was a girl who lived on one of these frontier farms around 1910. She and her brothers and sisters had some schooling, but also had to learn to run the house and farm and work alongside the adults as soon as they were able. Maude was truly a Girl of the Florida Frontier.
