Sitting at the kitchen tables of twelve women in their eighties who
were born in or immigrated to Montana in the late nineteenth or
early twentieth century, between 1982 and 1988 oral historian Donna
Gray conducted interviews that reveal a rich heritage. In retelling
their life stories, Gray steps aside and allows theses women with
supposedly "nothing to tell" to speak for themselves. Pride,
nostalgia, and triumph fill a dozen hearts as they realize how
remarkable their lives have been and wonder how they did it all.
Some of these women grew up in Montana in one-bedroom houses;
others traveled in covered wagons before finding a home and falling
in love with Montana. These raw accounts bring to life the
childhood memories and adulthood experiences of ranch wives who
were not afraid to milk a cow or bake in a wooden stove. From
raising poultry to raising a family, these women knew the meaning
of hard work. Several faced the hardships of family illness,
poverty, and early widowhood. Through it all, they were known for
their good sense of humor and strong sense of self.
