Never before has there been such a detailed record of women's courage, such a living portrait of the women who civilized the American frontier. Here are their stories: wilderness mothers, schoolmarms, Indian squaws, immigrants, homesteaders, and circuit riders. Their personal recollections of prairie fires, locust plagues, cowboy shootouts, Indian raids, and blizzards on the plains vividly reveal the drama, danger and excitement of the pioneer experience.<P>These were women of relentless determination, whose tenacity helped them to conquer loneliness and privation. Their work was the work of survival, it demanded as much from them as from their men -- and at last that partnership has been recognized. "These voices are haunting" <I>(New York Times Book Review),</I> and they reveal the special heroism and industriousness of pioneer women as never before.<P> 318704 17 9 1982 Pioneer Women total:87|5:20|4:41|3:20|2:6|1:0| 87 336 125 12 3 0 false false Thu Jun 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jan 05 06:02:03 -0800 2009 Thu Jun 18 08:33:35 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 08:41:12 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 08:48:51 -0700 2009
