Letters of a Woman Homesteader by Elinore Pruitt Stewart Paperback Book

Description: Letters of a Woman Homesteader by Elinore Pruitt Stewart The writer of the following letters is a young woman who lost her husband in a railroad accident and went to Denver to seek support for herself and her two-year-old daughter, Jerrine. Turning her hand to the nearest work, she went out by the day as house-cleaner and laundress. Later, seeking to better herself, she accepted employment as a housekeeper for a well-to-do Scotch cattle-man, Mr. Stewart, who had taken up a quarter-section in Wyoming. The letters, written through several years to a former employer in Denver, tell the story of her new life in the new country."Dear Mrs. Coney, -Are you thinking I am lost, like the Babes in the Wood? Well, I am not and Im sure the robins would have the time of their lives getting leaves to cover me out here. I am way up close to the Forest Reserve of Utah, within half a mile of the line, sixty miles from the railroad. I was twenty-four hours on the train and two days on the stage, and oh, those two days! The snow was just beginning to melt and the mud was about the worst I ever heard of.(...)"- Taken from "Letters of a Woman Homesteader" written by Elinore Pruitt Stewart FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Details ISBN2382747064 Author Elinore Pruitt Stewart Pages 128 Publisher Les Prairies Numeriques Year 2020 ISBN-10 2382747064 ISBN-13 9782382747063 Publication Date 2020-10-28 UK Release Date 2020-10-28 Format Paperback Imprint Les Prairies Numeriques DEWEY B Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
