This is the true story of two society girls from New York that decide to take the job of becoming school teachers in the first school established in a Colorado township in 1916. 
 Stories from the American frontier always fascinate me. The struggles to carve out a life where no one has ever lived before and the perseverence through all types of hardships is inspirational. Much of the story was researched through correspondance that the two young women kept on their journey, accompanied by photos and first hand accounts from those still living at the time the book was written. 
 Another good read!
