Never prior to has there been any such particular report of ladies’s braveness, any such residing portrait of the ladies who civilized the American frontier. Listed here are their tales: wasteland moms, schoolmarms, Indian squaws, immigrants, homesteaders, and circuit riders. Their non-public reminiscences of prairie fires, locust plagues, cowboy shootouts, Indian raids, and blizzards at the plains vividly screen the drama, risk and pleasure of the pioneer revel in.
