An authentic voice from the western frontier
Elinore Pruitt Stewart is renowned for her books 'Letters of a
Woman Homesteader' and its sequel 'Letters on an Elk Hunt, ' both
of which are included in this Leonaur good value, two-in-one
edition. Born in 1876 in the Oklahoma Indian Territory, the oldest
of nine children, by the time she was 30 years old she had married
Harry Rupert and was the widowed mother of a baby daughter. Three
years later Elinore answered an advertisement for a housekeeper for
rancher Henry Stewart at Burntfork, Wyoming. She filed a claim on
160 acres of land adjacent to Stewart's property and the couple
were married soon afterwards. Elinore's life as the couple
struggled to run their ranch and raise their family on the Wyoming
prairie, was a harsh one, but her books show it be a life full of
encounters with notable and memorable characters and rich in
variety and experience. She has left us a rewarding, charming and
poignant insight into the lives of American settlers who carved a
living and a nation out of the western states. Her story epitomises
the spirit of the pioneer women who tamed a wilderness and will
resonate with everyone who enjoys reading about the lives of those
determined to triumph over adversity.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
