A Frontier Lady: Recollections of the Gold Rush and Early California

A Frontier Lady: Recollections of the Gold Rush and Early California Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Since it was first published in 1932, A Frontier Lady has held a high and special place in the literature of Americas westward migration. Written in the 1880s at the request of her son, the philosopher and educator Josiah Royce, Sarah Royce's narrative of the family odyssey across the continent and of their early years in California is also the portrait of a remarkable woman. In the words of her daughter-in-law, "Wherever she was, she made civilization, even when it seemed that she had little indeed from which to make it."
