This is truly one of the most delightful books I have read. Elinore Stewart was more than a homesteader. She was a woman of adventure and imagination that took her camping, exploring, and visiting (even with small children in tow) through some horrifically cold weather. She played matchmaker at times, had a wonderful sense of humor, and a spirit that said "just because she was a woman" didn't mean she couldn't enjoy life. Her husband gave her such liberty that she was able to make the most of being a wife, mother, and friend to many. Her escapades will amuse you, trials will make you cry; and even though this is written as letters, they are written in a way to read like chapters in a book. A refreshing read.
