The life of the Kansas pioneer women
Abstract
The history or the west has received a new impetus
as a result of the works of Frederick Jackson Turner ,
Walter Prescott Webb , Stuart Henry, and other historians.
Pioneer women might be said to hold a subordinate position
in the development of the West and were a factor in its
social life. The pioneer women of Kansas, as well as those
in other regions , found pioneering in the early history of
Kansas fraught with those problems faced by all pioneers
and in addition those arising from political difficulties.
Records which were left by the pioneer women form a source
from which to gain an insight into their life.
