Description
Distributed by the University of Nebraska Press for Caxton Press
Laurie Winn Carlson analyzes the lives of the first six white women - missionary wives - to cross the Rocky Mountains. At a time when a woman's fortune and future was tied to the man she married, four of the six women married virtual strangers, on short notice, with no financial security. Why did they take such a gamble?
