A Lady's Life on a Farm in Manitoba

What can be more sincere that letters to friends and family that were not thought to be published? Owed that visit with a long sojourn in Colorado, she had to give up her "Lady's ways" and help on the farm in many ways she'd never stoop to at home. She makes hay, cooks, paints the barn roof, and cleans. Through it all, the newness helped her keep her temper, and these letters home show an insight into the settlement of Western Canada. (1882) As an account of the difficult and hostile conditions that pioneers faced in America and Canada, A Lady's Life on a Farm in Manitoba is indeed an interesting and valuable work that modern day readers will certainly enjoy.
