Her letters, as Jessamyn West said of the earlier volume, \"are, in fact (though not that alone), a collection of short stories.\" She added that \"what makes these letters so good are not these stories, but the character of the storyteller, of Elinore Stewart herself. Her letters endure and give pleasure because she does what the great letter-writers do: she reveals herself...It is the woman in this vanished landscape, the homesteader with her enormous vitality, humor, and tenderness who holds our attention.\" Jessamyn West's wish to know more about the author herself is fulfilled in the foreword to Letters on an Elk Hunt-an appreciative biographical sketch, incorporating material from some of Mrs. Stewart's unpublished letters as well as the reminiscences of her children. Elizabeth Fuller Ferris, of the Wilderness Women Project, Missoula, Montana, is the writer and producer of Burntfork, a film for public television funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities based upon the life of Elinore Pruitt Stewart.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50417630970129,"sku":"CIN0803291124A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51701723037969,"sku":"CIN0803291124VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0803291124.jpg?v=1751362321"},{"product_id":"letters-of-elinore-pruitt-stewart-woman-homesteader-book-elinore-pruitt-stewart-9780761416456","title":"The Letters of Elinore Pruitt Stewart, Woman Homesteader","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50426894188817,"sku":"CIN0761416455VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51612941779217,"sku":"CIN0761416455G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0761416455.jpg?v=1750702312"},{"product_id":"letters-of-a-woman-homesteader-book-elinore-pruitt-stewart-9780395321379","title":"Letters of a Woman Homesteader","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50940450636049,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50940451848465,"sku":"CIN0395321379G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B003ZU149S.jpg?v=1750740459"},{"product_id":"letters-on-an-elk-hunt-by-a-woman-homesteader-book-elinore-pruitt-stewart-9781602068117","title":"Letters on an Elk Hunt by a Woman Homesteader","description":"ELINORE PRUIT STEWART (1876-1933) caused a literary sensation in 1914 when her Letters of a Woman Homesteader was published.

The joy of Stewart's writing is in the perceptive eye she turns on her neighbors and their fortunes and misfortunes: scraping up money to buy a coffin and tombstone for a beloved mother, digging wells for thirsty horses, making bonnets and kitchen curtainHIS036041s to beautify a harsh environment, rekindling a romance between a couple long estranged, and more.

Elinore's life as the couple struggled to run their ranch and raise their family on the Wyoming prairie, was a harsh one, but her books show it be a life full of encounters with notable and memorable characters and rich in variety and experience. She has left us a rewarding, charming and poignant insight into the lives of American settlers who carved a living and a nation out of the western states. Her story epitomises the spirit of the pioneer women who tamed a wilderness and will resonate with everyone who enjoys reading about the lives of those determined to triumph over adversity.\u003cbr\u003e Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51150593130769,"sku":"NIN9781782822530","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51157201223953,"sku":"NGR9781782822530","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1782822534.jpg?v=1751184646"},{"product_id":"letters-of-a-woman-homesteader-book-elinore-pruitt-stewart-9783849517762","title":"Letters of a Woman Homesteader","description":"As a young widow with a small child, Elinore Pruitt left Denver in 1909 and set out for Wyoming, where she hoped to buy a ranch.
