On Sidesaddles to Heaven: The Women of the Rocky Mountain Mission
Autor Laurie Winn Carlsonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 1997
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, offering a fresh and sometimes startling view of these pioneers. 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?

Recenzii
"Gracefully written, this lively narrative is popular history at its best."—Glenda Riley, President, Western History Association
"Sets the story apart from previous treatments and makes it an engaging, perceptive, and readable treatment."—Robert M. Utley, author of The Lance and the Shield
"In addition to giving readers a good sense of these women as real people - not simply stoic helpmates in a great historical drama perpetuated by their missionary husbands - Carlson provides many telling details about aspects of frontier life, such as feminine hygiene, childbearing and sanitary practices, that previous historical accounts have overlooked. This book is a wonderful example of history from a woman's point of view, and it does a fine job of bringing the past vividly to life. Highly recommended."—Victorian Decorating and Lifestyle Magazine
