No gun fights at high noon in these stories. The white hats are bonnets and the enemies are loneliness, fear, gender prejudice, and isolation, all set in the beautiful but treacherous American west as a young nation follows the sun. Often, the women who left home behind and accompanied their men in this grand adventure found they had to handle their new life on their own. And lest we forget, it was the women who went west who were the great civilizers, who insisted on parks and beauty, the building of churches, the education of children.
