Download or read book Courageous Women of the American Frontier written by Kathleen Shelby Boyett and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-11-25 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume includes a reprint of PIONEER MOTHERS OF THE WEST; OR, DARING AND HEROIC DEEDS OF AMERICAN WOMEN, COMPRISING THRILLING EXAMPLES OF COURAGE, FORTITUDE, DEVOTEDNESS, AND SELF-SACRIFICE, written by John Frost in 1875. This book reveals the European white settlers' viewpoint of the American frontier in the 1700s and early 1800s. Then editor of the present volume presents a different voice, that of a Native American woman, with an understandably different viewpoint, in LIFE AMONG THE PAIUTES: THEIR WRONGS AND CLAIMS, written by Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins in 1882. Sarah Winnemucca is credited with having published the first known autobiography written by a Native American woman. Raised for two years in a white home, Sarah learned the English language and something of the English culture. She later worked as an interpreter and assistant teacher for her people on the reservation, and then served as a translator, scout, and messenger for the U.S. Army. Sarah even lectured across California and Nevada on the plight of her people, and her book was a part of this effort. As Frost said in the introduction to his book, "The heroic deeds of these noble American women, who first confronted the dangers of the western wilderness, are full of instruction. They teach us what women are capable of; they show us how dearly the blessings we now enjoy were purchased by those who went before us in the march of ages, they furnish abundant themes for meditation and study in the mysteries of human character and they present to us, by the strong contrast of past times with the present, occasion for thankfulness. Our women of the present age may be heroines, no doubt, in another way; and the occasions for self-sacrifice and noble generosity will still present themselves and still be heroically met. But the original Heroines of the West will always maintain their unrivalled place in the annals of our country, illustrious, revered, and alone in their glory."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the earliest days of the western frontier, women heeded the call to go west along with their husbands, sweethearts, and parents. Many of these women were attached to the army camps and outposts that dotted the prairies. Some were active participants in the skirmishes and battles that took place in the western territories. Each of these women-wives, mothers, daughters, laundresses, soldiers, and shamans-risked their lives in unsettled lands, facing such challenges as bearing children in primitive conditions and defying military orders in an effort to save innocent people. Soldier, Sister, Spy, Scout tells the story of twelve such brave women-Buffalo Soldiers, scouts, interpreters, nurses, and others-who served their country in the early frontier. These heroic women displayed a depth of courage and physical bravery not found in many men of the time. Their remarkable commitment and willingness to throw off the constraints of nineteenth-century conventions helped build the west for generations to come.
