The pioneer women of the West.

by E. F. Ellet

“In this interesting volume, we have 59 extended biographical sketches of wives and mothers who ventured into the western wilds, and bore their part in the struggles and labors of the early pioneers. Most of the biographies were prepared from private records, and are authentic in every respect; none had appeared previous to their publication in this work.” - Peter G. Thomson, ***A Bibliography of the State of Ohio*** (1880)
