Nannie Alderson remembers her life as a young bride on a cattle ranch in SE Montana. She tells of the hardships facing women at this time but always in an optimistic voice and with a bit of a sense of humor mixed in as well. She writes about living among Native American tribes and the danger she experienced as well as the education she got in doing so. Many interesting characters crossed her path in those years and she is very entertaining in sharing those stories with the reader.

I found this book interesting and very informative on what life was like living in Montana on a cattle ranch in the late 1800's. It was a hard life but I loved how everyone shared their homes and lifes with people just passing by and also with the Indians.
