Letters of a Woman Homesteader by Elinore Pruitt Stewart

Was very interesting to read. Things were very different in 1909, and yet not so different at all. I would have enjoyed an annotated version more, as there was much I didn’t understand due to shifting vocabularies and changes in society.

I also would have liked the whole collection of letters to have been placed in context by an editor. It would have been nice to know what became of Elinore, and who she was before going off to homestead. ★★★☆☆
