Book Synopsis Courageous Women of the American Frontier by : Kathleen Shelby Boyett
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."

Book Synopsis Woman on the American Frontier by : William Worthington Fowler
Download or read book Woman on the American Frontier written by William Worthington Fowler and published by VM eBooks. This book was released on 2016-07-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WOMAN AS A PIONEER Every battle has its unnamed heroes. The common soldier enters the stormed fortress and, falling in the breach which his valor has made, sleeps in a nameless grave. The subaltern whose surname is scarcely heard beyond the roll-call on parade, bears the colors of his company where the fight is hottest. And the corporal who heads his file in the final charge, is forgotten in the "earthquake shout" of the victory which he has helped to win. The victory may be due as much, or more, to the patriot courage of him who is content to do his duty in the rank and file, as to the dashing colonel who heads the regiment, or even to the general who plans the campaign: and yet unobserved, unknown, and unrewarded the former passes into oblivion while the leader's name is on every tongue, and perhaps goes down in history as that of one who deserved well of his country.
