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. ( ) no reviews | add a review
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 that dotted the prairies as wives, daughters, and camp followers, and some were active participants in the skirmishes and battles that took place as the burgeoning population of the United States surged into territory where Native Americans were once free to roam. She Wore a Yellow Ribbon tells the story of these women--Buffalo Soldiers, scouts, interpreters, nurses, and others who served their country in the early frontier. No library descriptions found. |
