Description
No Life for a Lady
When Agnes Morley Cleveland was born on a New Mexico cattle ranch in 1874, the term “Wild West” was a reality, not a cliche. In those days cowboy didn’t know they were picturesque, horse rustlers were to be handled as seemed best on the occasion, and young ladies thought nothing of punching cows and hunting grizzlies in between school terms. Mrs. Cleveland’s personal history of her experiences is “topnotch Americana, honestly and entertainingly told.” – The New Yorker
