Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christmas was the most widely and generally celebrated holiday on the American frontier. Indeed, this was the day of days for the first Westerners who, though they might be too busy to celebrate other holidays, always made something different of Christmas. Hoarded delicacies were brought forth, rare leisure time was spent preparing gifts, and somehow, no matter where they were, some way was found to make the day a memorable one. Prairie settlers displayed a rare genius in finding Christmas trees on the prairies, and their imaginations filled in for the fancy gifts and gaudy ornaments missing from their bare cabins. Soldiers at frontier posts threw aside grim martial duties for boyish good times. Includes numerous eyewitness descriptions by the participants themselves.

Download or read book A Last Frontier written by Iola Lyttle Medd and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-10 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today messages are sent with the click of a mouse. Few of us have time anymore to sit down and hand write a letter. E-mail is in and with the press of a key the written words disappear as if they had never been. Sadly the handwritten letter is becoming a thing of the past.In 1955 when two young starry-eyed Americans left to take up their post in northeast Thailand with the United States Information Agency there was no such thing as E-mail. Had there been this memoir would not exist. In Korat, Thailand communication by means other than a letter required advance planning, practice and patience. An overseas call had to be reserved in advance. The call was made from a radio station via short wave. It was a frustrating exercise in speak, stop, over and listen, speak, stop, over and listen. Letters took two, sometimes three weeks to arrive; thus answers to questions came six weeks after the fact. Despite the time lapse our weekly letters home were treasured, passed around and saved. Today these letters tell the story of a different time, a distant place and a forgotten era.
