Women of the West
I'm happy that so many of you enjoyed seeing the photo of the Chrisman sisters next to their sod house. I've done a little bit of research on the sisters, but there are some conflicts in what I've read. Some articles state that all the sisters made a claim and others state that by the time the youngest sister was eligible, all of the free land (at least locally to them) was taken. 
I recently purchased the book Women Of The West by Cathy Luchetti & Carol Olwell. I haven't read all of it yet, but if you are interested in the history of women heading west in America, I think you will like this book. It has lots of pictures, too, which is one of my favorite things about it.
Happy reading!
I think my Mom has this book, she enjoys reading this type of book, I do better with novels...LOL!
ReplyDeleteHappy First Day of Autumn!
Looks great... I would probably look at the pictures only. I have a beautiful quilt book about people in the Appalachian mountains and their stories. I have had the book for over 10 years and have yet to read it all the way through. But I LOVE the pictures!
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting... I also would probably like the pictures, may read it. I'll have to remember that book and give it a look see once old man winter arrives.

Hi Rose Mary - I have that book but have never read it yet. I am a great one to buy books and forget them. I will have to dig it out.
