A warm and informed story of author's grandmother's year of adventure in early Colorado. Insightful about the hardships and community of the turn of the century Coloradians as seen by two adventuresome Eastern society girls that came to teach there for one year. Their observations and the pictures in book tell the legacy of independent women and ingenious homesteaders.

Everyone in our club enjoyed the adventures of these two society girls who left New York to teach in a one room schoolhouse in rural Colorado during the early 1900's.
