Letters of a Woman Homesteader presents an outstanding first-person account of life on the American frontier. Elinore Pruitt Stewart took up homesteading in Burnt Fork, Wyoming, in 1909, to prove that a woman could ranch. Her captivating letters reveal the isolation, the beauty, and the joy of working the prairie. This charming chronicle, the basis for the acclaimed movie Heartland, Letters of a Woman Homesteader, is part of our vanished past. Stewart's courage and her delight in the world around her cannot fail to capture the hearts of her readers. |

| Are you thinking I am lost, like the Babes in the Wood? Well, I am not and I'm sure the robins would have the time of their lives getting leaves to cover me out here. I am 'way up close to the Forest Reserve of Utah, within half a mile of the line, sixty miles from the railroad. I was twenty-four hours on the train and two days on the stage, and oh, those two days! The snow was just beginning to melt and the mud was about the worst I ever heard of. |
