In 1909 she went to work for Clyde Stewart, whose ranch was near Burnt Fork, Wyoming, and within six weeks she married him. \"Ranch work seemed to require that we be married first and do our sparking afterward,\" she wrote Juliet Coney, her former employer. She maintained her independence by filing on a quarter section adjacent to her husband's land and proving it up herself. Her delightful letters, written from the time of her arrival until 1913, authentically depict an Old West that, as Jessamyn West notes in her foreword, has been \"progressively obscured by those who portray it most often.\" \u003cp\u003eThe critically acclaimed 1980 film Heartland was based on Elinore Pruitt Stewart's letters and journals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Bison Books","offers":[{"title":"Letters of a Woman Homesteader (Revised) | Elinore Pruitt Stewart | Paperback | 9780803251939 | Used: Very Good | Letters \u0026 Diaries 1223976","offer_id":50550539845890,"sku":"1223976","price":18.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/61O3uQScTtL.jpg?v=1790468465","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/letters-of-a-woman-homesteader-revised","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
