This is such an interesting collection of stories of many of the women who helped shape the history of our great nation. The women featured in this book are comprised of Buffalo Soldiers, scouts, a Lighthouse keeper, interpreters and nurses, just to mention a few. Their stories tell of the hardships that faced the women who were prominent in building America. Their stories give the reader a picture of the courage these women and countless others had in facing the challenges required of them. I highly recommend this book to any and all who love to read the history of our early settlers. ( )
