Letters of a Woman Homesteader by Elinore Pruitt Stewart

4.0

I have spent this past year reading several books about pioneer life on the Great Plains and usually end up thankful that I was not born a pioneer. Letters of a Woman Homesteader may have changed my mind. Elinore Pruitt Stewart, through her correspondence with a former employer, has written an uplifting, refreshing series of actual letters about her life homesteading in the wilderness of Wyoming in the late 1800s. What captivated this reader is Elinore's joy of life and how excited she was living her dream of homesteading. She almost had this "city slicker" wishing she could go back in time and experience life in a rustic cabin in the mountains - almost. Highly recommend.
