The Harvey Girls: Women Who Opened the West
Autor Lesley Poling-Kempesen Paperback – 3 iul 1994
From
the
1880s
to
the
1950s,
the
Harvey
Girls
went
west
to
work
in
Fred
Harvey's
restaurants
along
the
Santa
Fe
railway.
At
a
time
when
there
were
"no
ladies
west
of
Dodge
City
and
no
women
west
of
Albuquerque,"
they
came
as
waitresses,
but
many
stayed
and
settled,
founding
the
struggling
cattle
and
mining
towns
that
dotted
the
region.
Interviews,
historical
research,
and
photographs
help
re-create
the
Harvey
Girl
experience.
The
accounts
are
personal,
but
laced
with
the
history
the
women
lived:
the
dust
bowl,
the
depression,
and
anecdotes
about
some
of
the
many
famous
people
who
ate
at
the
restaurants--Teddy
Roosevelt,
Shirley
Temple,
Bob
Hope,
to
name
a
few.
The
Harvey
Girlswas
awarded
the
winner
of
the
1991
New
Mexico
Press
Women's
ZIA
award.
