reviewed Letters of a Woman Homesteader on January 03, 2008 Letters of a Woman Homesteader
This is one of my favorite books of all time, and I have probably read it at least a dozen times. This is the story of a person who followed her heart and worked incredibly hard; the end result is that she built a life she loved. Set in Wyoming at the start of the 20th century, Stewart (a widowed single mother)left the drudgery of taking in wash to work on a cattle ranch and prove up her own piece of land for homesteading.
She writes with wonderful droll humor and remarkable insight to the human condition. To her dear friend, she says,
"When you think of me, you must think of my as one who is truly happy. It is true I want a great many things I haven't got, but I don't want them enough to be discontented and not enjoy the many blessings that are mine....Do you wonder I am so happy? When I think of it all, I wonder how I can crowd all my joy into one short life." How many of us can say the same?
