Pioneer Women – The Lives of Women on the Frontier
Pioneer Women is, by its very nature, a hybrid of sorts, a melding of visual and verbal images intended to entertain as well as to enlighten. Consequently, it is a book that raises over and over again — without ever purporting to fully answer — the question with which we began: Who is the woman in the wheat field and what can she tell us about the lives of women on the American frontier?
Description
Pioneer Women – The Lives of Women on the Frontier
Pioneer Women provides a rare look at frontier life through the eyes of the pioneer women who settled the American West. Linda Peavy and Ursula Smith vividly describe the hardships such women endured journeying west and making homes and communities on the frontier. Their hopes and fears and, most of all, their courage in the face of adversity are revealed in excerpts from journals, letters, and oral histories. Illustrated with a fascinating collection of seldom-seen photographs, Pioneer Women reveals the faces as well as the voices of women who lived on the frontier.
