Book excerpt: This volume is a wonderful addition to the editor's commitment to preserve early American history. These stories were told by persons much closer to the events than we are now. These women come alive in these pages through their stories. The accounts of women's lives on the American frontier in the 1700s that are herein contained shed real insight on the time period and on the hardships and difficulties that women in this time endured. These are the stories of the frontier "mothers" who settled Tennessee, Kentucky, the Ohio Valley, onward into Michigan, and upwards toward Canada. These women faced challenges that the modern reader will never have to face. Their courage, their fortitude, their endurance, their determination, their strength, and their loving hearts are all qualities that the twenty-first century reader can appreciate and emulate. Their ability to find joy in the beauty around them and in their loved ones can be an encouragement to each of us as we face our everyday lives. If these pioneering women had the spirit of surviving well, no matter what they faced, then certainly we can have it as well.
