From the Publisher:

"Through a combination of historical research, excerpts from pioneer diaries and a remarkable collection of documentary photographs, [the authors] evoke a striking portrait of everyday life among nineteenth-century women "-- St. Petersburg Times
The focus on minority women gives this overview... a human appeal rarely touched in most history books of the westward expansion."--Kansas City Star

From the Inside Flap:

ering look at the women who helped to settle the West, told through their own words and illustrated with 150 period photographs. This is American history, not as it was romanticized, but as it was lived. "An authentic, refreshing, and even inspiring view of life on the frontier."--San Francisco Chronicle. Illustrations.
