Prairie Letters: Life on the Kansas Prairie in the Late 1800s

by Elaine Evans Clark

"Through these letters of early pioneers, most from Sumner County, Kansas, one can imagine the hardships and perils they faced while traveling by wagons across the prairie -- not to mention the difficulties of establishing new homes once they arrived."

Cute little correspondences from Sumner County. The first half from Emily kept my interest, as she lived in the next town over from me, and her life was tragic yet interesting. Her sisters and cousins letters bored me. I’m not sure if why.
You could feel Emily’s loneliness. I wonder if I could find exactly where she’s buried? ❤️
