Laurie Winn Carlson analyzes the lives of the first six white women—missionary wives—to cross the Rocky Mountains, offering a fresh and sometimes startling view of these pioneers. At a time when a woman's fortune and future was tied to the man she married, four of the six women married virtual strangers, on short notice, with no financial security. Why did they take such a gamble?

Book News Annotation:

The author analyzes the lives of the first six white women--missionary wives--to cross the Rocky mountains. Sixteen chapters describe what their lives were like in the 1830's and how they thought and related to other people. Sample topics include a woman's place, marriages of convenience, personal problems, slavery, and the end of the dream.
