Letters of a Woman Homestader 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 reveal the isolation, the beauty, and the joy of working the prairie.
This charming chronicle, the basis for the acclaimed movie Heartland, Letters of a Woman Homeseader, 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 readers.
