Plains Woman: The Diary of Martha Farnsworth, 1882a 1922

This book is an edition of the 40-year diary of Martha Fransworth, Kansan, who from 1882 to 1922 kept a daily record extraordinarily rich in public and private endeavors. Not only historically interesting but emotionally moving, her record is of a lower middle-class life lived just this side of--chronically--the American frontier.
