Pruitt, a widow and mother who washed clothes for a living in Denver, planned to work as a housekeeper for some rancher while learning all she'd need to know about homesteading a place for herself. In 1909 she went to work for Clyde Stewart, whose ranch was near Burnt Fork, Wyoming, and within six weeks she married him. Her delightful letters written from the time of her arrival until 1913, authentically depict an Old West that has been progressively obscured by those who portray it most often. |
