Schlesinger, Jr "Autobiographical manuscripts written by hundreds of pioneer women, commissioned and collected by Joanna Stratton's great-grandmother, Lilla Day Monroe, a prominent suffragist, lawyer, and publisher" "Never before has there been such a detailed record of women's courage or such a living portrait of the women who civilized the frontier. Replete with drama, here are stories of wilderness mothers, schoolmarms, Indian squaws, immigrants, homesteaders, and circuit riders. Their personal recollections of prairie fires, locust plagues, cowboy shoot-outs, Indian raids, and blizzards on the plains portray vividly the dangers and excitement of pioneering. And their intimate remembrances of day-to-day life reveal the special heroism and industriousness of the pioneer woman as never before." 6" x 9 1/4" - 319 Pages - Illustrated With Historical Black And White Photographs - Index Dust Jacket Has Light Foxing Otherwise In Like New Condition Check Out Our eBay Store (Grannyspalapa) For Other Similar Items www.ebay.com/str/grannyspalapa For International Shipping, please email me for costs
