It was not
true of the colonial days in Texas, of ranch life in the
southern part of Texas, of homesteading all over the West, of
emigrant trails to California and Oregon, of backwoods life.
Various items listed under "How the Early Settlers Lived"
contain material on pioneer women.
ALDERSON, NANNIE T., and SMITH, HELENA HUNTINGTON. A _Bride
Goes West_, New York, 1942. Montana in the eighties. OP.
BAKER, D. W. C. A _Texas Scrapbook_, 1875; reprinted, 1936, by
Steck, Austin.
BROTHERS, MARY HUDSON. A _Pecos Pioneer_, 1943. OP. The best
part of this book is not about the writer's brother, who
cowboyed with Chisum's Jinglebob outfit and ran into Billy the
Kid, but is Mary Hudson's own life. Only Ross Santee has
equaled her in description of drought and rain. The last
chapters reveal a girl's inner life, amid outward experiences,
as no other woman's chronicle of ranch ways--sheep ranch here.
CALL, HUGHIE. _Golden Fleece_, Houghton Mifflin, Boston, 1942.

century. OP.
