Book Reviews of The Adventures of the Woman Homesteader: The Life and Letters of Elinore Pruitt Stewart
Book Review: Interesting letters from a woman homesteader
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good book for anyone interested in reading about life on a Wyoming woman homesteader in the early 1900s. Elinore has a delightful way of expressing herself and her love for others and life comes across in her letters. She was an optimistic person and did not dwell on all the hardships like some others who wrote letters at that time. I genuinely believe she had a different outlook on life and made the best of everything instead of dwelling on the hardships. Many of these letters were not published by any magazine so she "lets her hair down" a bit more than her other two books. She is remarkable at observation and recall and it shows in her writing. Read it for yourself and see if you get caught up in her quaint tones and expressions.
