reviewed Taming the Elephant: Politics, Government, and Law in Pioneer California on July 29, 2007 Taming the Elephant: Politics, Government, and Law in Pioneer California
This could have been a companion to "Letters From a Woman Homesteader" if Mollie had been a little more dedicated to keeping her diary. I enjoyed her voice and appreciated her humor and the honesty in which she described her struggles.
My family showed up in 1887 in Nebraska, and the other half came not too long before that. It was interesting to read about the settlement of Eastern Nebraska, pre-statehood.
I would like to read an update to this book, I am interested in what else might have been found out about her siblings and what happened to her children. And maybe more footnotes about the folks she ran into. Did the Prestons found the city of Preston, Nebraska?
