"Quilt-stitched memoirs of Kansas women pioneers from overland travel and sod-busting to confrontations with Natives and abolitionists. Great read!
Merged review:
Voices of Kansas Pioneer women stitched together from storytelling, writings, and photos. Includes narratives of travel, confrontations with Natives, sod-busting, farming, homemaking, family, social events, faith, abolition, prohibition and suffrage. Great read!"
"I have noticed that when people come to my house and are looking for something to read, this is the book they pick up. It's not like it is the only book on the shelf. But everyone I have ever noticed picking up a book picked this one."
"Personal stories compiled from women who settled Kansas. Funny, scary, hopeful, and hopeless, it's great for finding out the history you don't always get from the standard texts."
