Dorothy Johnson, author of "The Hanging Tree" and "Indian Country,"
describes the great western experience of a number of
nineteenth-century women of widely different situations and fates.
Some were captured by Indians. Cynthia Ann Parker, assimilated to
the Comanche tribe after being captured as a child, was later
recaptured by U.S. soldiers who killed her Comanche husband and
separated her forever from her sons. Pioneer Fanny Kelly spent five
months as a captive of the Sioux; she went on to write a
clearheaded book about her experiences. Some, like missionary Mary
Richardson Walker and the independent Dr. Bethenia Owens-Adair,
showed great dedication to their work. Some were adventurous. Molly
Slade, fiercely loyal to her ruthless husband, once helped him
escape a band of outlaws intent on killing him. The intrepid
Isabella Bird reported on her solitary travels in the Wild West,
while Army wife Elizabeth Custer rode out with her husband's
cavalry one spring. Others proved their grit as homesteaders. All
these women, and more, figure unforgettably in Some "Went West,"
