Books with author Grace Livingston 1865-1947 Hill

In this classic adventure novel, Margaret Earle travels alone to Arizona from the Eastern United States during the 1890s. Margaret takes the long journey hoping to take a position as a teacher in the frontier state. However circumstances on the journey unlock her capacities as a bold, adventurous and adaptable young woman - her capable demeanor allowing her to befriend the cowboys present in the western plains and wilderness. Despite facing adversity and dangerous challenges, even being left stranded in the desert at one point, Margaret acclimatises to the Wild West culture of the Southwestern United States of the time. Lance Gardley, one of the cowboys with whom Margaret strikes up a friendship, frequently demonstrates - and downplays - his noble and gallant nature. The growing bond and attachment between Lance and Margaret runs parallel to Margaret's increasing affinity for the lands of Arizona, and the spirit of adventure that so contrasts the developed and settled east. Generally agreed to be one of Grace Livingstone Hill's stronger novels, A Voice in the Wilderness is a book bursting with the vitality, danger and spirit which encapsulates the Wild West era.

Yet if the train started before she found the conductor she might be carried on somewhere and be justly blame her for a fool.

With a lurch the train came to a dead stop and Margaret Earle, hastily gathering up her belongings, hurried down the aisle and got out into the night. It occurred to her, as she swung her heavy suit-case down the rather long step to the ground, and then carefully swung herself after it, that it was strange that neither conductor, brakeman, nor porter had come to help her off the train, when all three had taken the trouble to tell her that hers was the next station; but she could hear voices up ahead. Perhaps something was the matter with the engine that detained them and they had forgotten her for the moment. The ground was rough where she stood, and there seemed no sign of a platform. Did they not have platforms in this wild Western land, or was the train so long that her car had stopped before reaching it?
