Determined to prove that a lone woman could survive the hardships of homesteading, she initially worked as a housekeeper and hired hand for a neighbor -- a kind but taciturn Scottish bachelor whom she eventually married. \u003cbr\u003e Spring and summers were hard, she concedes, and were taken up with branding, farming, doctoring cattle, and other chores. But with the arrival of fall, Pruitt found time to take her young daughter on camping trips and serve her neighbors as midwife, doctor, teacher, Santa Claus, and friend. She provides a candid portrait of these and other experiences in twenty-six letters written to a friend back in Denver. \u003cbr\u003e Described by the \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e as \"warmly delightful, vigorously affirmative,\" this unsurpassed classic of American frontier life -- enhanced with original illustrations by N. C. Wyeth -- will charm today's audience as much as it fascinated readers when it was first published in 1914.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elinore Pruitt Stewart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486451429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486451428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.48w x 0.79d","brand":"Elinore Pruitt Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049553064191,"sku":"9780486451428","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9b5c2f4c-a1d8-4de5-8c7a-bdeea55d9c66.jpg?v=1685002165","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/letters-of-a-woman-homesteader-elinore-pruitt-stewart-9780486451428","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
