Contents:
Introduction
Glimpses of western life
Ladies have the hardest time, that emigrate by land
A maid of all traids
Am beginning to feel quite civilized
The rarest commodity ... are women
If polygamy is the Lord's order, we must carry it out
Will she not overstep the bounds of propriety if she ventures into the arena of action?
Epilogue

Chronicles the heroic achievements of America's frontier women
