Publisher Description: In 1905, a young wife arrived in a strange land to join her mining engineer husband. The challenges of her new life proved both exciting and dangerous. She recorded her domestic-and, later, historical-adventures with youthful enthusiasm and na ve bigotry in this series of engaging autobiographical essays. Her literary time capsules capture the attitudes and mor s of the era while revealing a woman gently reared to live a life quite different than the difficult one she chose. |
