Written by Ethel Waxham Love, a Wellesley College graduate who went
to Wyoming in 1905 as a teacher in a one-room schoolhouse, and her
son, J. David Love, who later became an eminent geologist, Life on
Muskrat Creek tells the fascinating story of a family's day-to-day
life on an isolated ranch in early twentieth-century Wyoming.
Readers will be held in suspense as they learn about the family's
battle with a variety of challenges, including a near-fatal bout
with Spanish influenza, life-threatening encounters with livestock
and wildlife, and disastrous episodes of fires, flooding,
blizzards, and drought. The book's depiction of more ordinary
events is equally engaging; Ethel describes becoming a wife and
raising children without the support of neighbors, women friends,
or a wider family network, and David recounts growing up in a wild
and remote place where there was no local school to attend. Readers
from all walks of life will find Life on Muskrat Creek to be a
lively and provocative book.
