Thrown Out at 16, She Built a Dugout Cabin for $200 — It Stayed Warm While Town Froze at 20

Описание: At just 16 years old, Sarah Lindstöm was thrown out into the frozen Dakota frontier with nothing but her mother’s Bible and a few hidden dollars. While grown men struggled to survive brutal winters in costly wooden houses, Sarah did something no one believed would work. She carved a dugout cabin into a hillside, built almost entirely from earth.

When temperatures plunged to deadly lows and families burned through their last firewood, her home stayed warm, quiet, and safe. What began as survival turned into a forgotten innovation that saved lives across the Northern Territories.

This emotional Wild West story reveals how observation, old-world knowledge, and courage helped one young girl outbuild an entire town. A true frontier survival story that proves the smartest solutions are sometimes the simplest ones.
