Horseback Schoolmarm by Margot Liberty

In 1953, Margot Pringle, newly graduated from Cornell University, took a job as a teacher in a one-room school in rural eastern Montana, sixty miles southeast of Miles City. This book is the memoir she wrote. It recounts her coming of age as a teacher, as well as what she taught her students.

Margot Liberty has written a warm and memorable account of the everyday struggles and triumphs of teaching in an isolated, one-room schoolhouse in the 1950sShe gives us a very personal glimpse into a unique time and place in the American West that might otherwise have been forgotten."" - Pamela Smith Hill, author of Laura Ingalls Wilder: A Writer's Life

""A charming book and a pleasurable read. Margot Liberty's memoir of teaching in a one-room schoolhouse in a sparsely populated corner of Montana seems timeless, yet its setting in the early 1950s gives us a glimpse of a little-studied, changing, postwar West."" - Mary Murphy, coeditor of Montana Legacy: Essays on History, People, and Place
