Dauntless Women: Stories of Pioneer Wives is a non-fiction book written by Winifred Mathews. The book tells the stories of women who lived in the American West during the 19th century. These women were wives of pioneers who ventured into the unknown territories, seeking new opportunities and a better life. Despite the harsh living conditions, these women were resilient and determined to make a life for themselves and their families. Mathews highlights the struggles and triumphs of these women, who faced challenges such as isolation, illness, and danger from hostile Native American tribes. The book also explores the role of women in the pioneer society, their contributions to the community, and their efforts to maintain their cultural traditions in a new environment. Through personal diaries, letters, and interviews with descendants, Mathews brings to life the stories of these courageous women, who defied societal norms and expectations to carve out a new life for themselves and their families. Dauntless Women: Stories of Pioneer Wives is a tribute to the strength and resilience of women in the face of adversity and a testament to their enduring legacy in American history.Includes Comrade Of An Ambassador In Chains, Ann Judson; Mother Of The Tribe, Mary Moffat; The Main Spoke In My Wheel, Mary Livingstone; Homemaker In The Wagon, Christina Coillard; Friend Of The Island Women, Mary Williams; No Ordinary Woman, Agnes Watt; She Followed A Red-Maned Star, Lillias Underwood.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
