The Power behind the Pioneers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
In Parrot Pie for Breakfast, Jane Robinson opens up the entire spectrum of the early pioneer days, not just North American, but globally.

The treasured snippets of their words bring history alive with a newer, brighter light that spotlights the mostly forgotten role of women in the harshest of times.
