Letters of a Woman Homesteader by Elinore Pruitt Stewart

5.0

I thought these letters might be boring, but they were adventurous and touching! Elinore Pruitt is a woman who moves to Colorado in the 1910s. She writes letters about hiking into the woods and shooting her dinner and then camping under the stars. She also writes about celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas and meeting some poor Mormon women. Her passionate explanation of how easy homesteading is has me determined to grow/build a vegetable garden this year.

Strangely enough, there are some "twists," so it's not completely predictable. Recommended to all women who live in the mountains or like nature writing. :-)
