Review # 1 was written on 2017-03-03 00:00:00 David Pratt Very good exploration of the very real women who helped settle the plains. Though non-fiction (which I don't read easily) there are enough anecdotal stories to keep it engaging. We women are hardier stock than we're given credit for being.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-06-02 00:00:00 Robert Sorrow I loved reading this book, partially because the stories resonated with me since I grew up on a farm that had been homesteaded by my ancestors (and run by women for 2/5 generations!) I agree with an earlier rating which stated it has just enough anecdotal stories to make it interesting for most folks, but it is heavy on statistics. Fitting for the type of work it is, just be wary if you're looking for swashbuckling narrative adventure.
