Letters of a Woman Homesteader

Meer over het boek

Set in early 20th-century Wyoming, the narrative follows Elinore Pruitt Stewart, a widow and single mother, as she embarks on a new life as a housekeeper for a wealthy cattleman. Documenting her experiences from 1909 to 1913, her letters blend reality and storytelling, capturing the essence of ranch life. Initially personal reflections, these letters were later published in 1914, accompanied by illustrations from N.C. Wyeth, adding a visual dimension to her poignant journey of resilience and independence.
