About This Item
Quote from Seattle Post-Intelligencer - "...an engaging, meaningful documentation of women's experiences on the frontier."
A piece of the story on the back cover: "I was married at 15, and was not only a good cook and housekeeper, but I knew how to take care of babies, from having cared for my brothers and sisters.

Good condition. Spine is creased. There is some soiling to closed book page edges. Previous owner's ink stamp on front end paper. Covers have some rubbing and bumping. Stated first edition. Text is clean and binding is tight. A good reading copy. Riveting reading.
Please use photos as part of the description.
310 pages including Index.
