Letters of a Woman Homesteader presents an outstanding first-person account of life on the American frontier. Elinore Pruitt Stewart took up homesteading in Burnt Fork, Wyoming, in 1909, to prove that a woman could ranch. Her captivating letters, sent to a former employer in Denver, reveal the isolation, the beauty, and the joy of working the prairie.
The basis for the acclaimed movie Heartland, this charming chronicle is part of our vanished past. Stewart’s courage and her delight in the world around her cannot fail to capture the hearts of her listeners.
