I loved this one and highly recommend it! It is beautifully written and the reader is excellent. Learning first hand about how life was lived on a day to day basis in that area of the United States just one hundred years ago is fascinating. Elinore Pruitt Stewart is definitely someone to look up to - a real role model for people no matter what century they live in!

What a delightful surprise this book was. It's a view of a very spunky young lady with a humorous and vivid way of describing her life in "the wild west"(even though it's 1909!). It's good listening, will make you laugh and be proud of the independent spirit of America.

This book was a delightful surprise! By chapter 2 I was captivated by the story! The letters are written with such honesty and sweetness, as well as decribing the beauty of the wilderness in the early 1900's. Inspiring on many levels: Woman's capability to do amazing things, the power and beauty of writing letters and the gift it can bring others and the wonderful picture she paints of life in Wyoming. This is a truly real adventure of an amazing woman at an amazing time in our country's history. I miss her already! The only downside is the narrator's voice sometimes gets on your nerves. Share this book with elderly shut-ins. It's sweet and innocent and describes a life when times were much simpler.
