Elinore Pruitt washed clothes in Denver to provide for herself and her daughter after the death of her husband. In 1909 she took a job with a rancher near Burnt Fork, Wyoming. This was the beginning of the eloquent letters narrated in this remarkable audiobook. The letters are packed with delightful stories and facinating personal observations providing an assounding account of the life of homesteaders shortly after the turn of the century.
