Your book sounds fascinating and I'm eagerly diving in. I've always been interested in what motivated these "mail-order brides" to leave home and go hundreds of miles from everything familiar to marry men they'd never met. They were women of rare courage.E.E.Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14761484300868762118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-33118508179133716402015-05-26T18:48:53.336-04:002015-05-26T18:48:53.336-04:00I meant to say thank you all for the kind words in...I meant to say thank you all for the kind words in my last post!Holly Bushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01256345742869984374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-20744353021624005512015-05-26T18:44:46.611-04:002015-05-26T18:44:46.611-04:00Hello all!

Choices were limited for women, widow or not, and I think the mores of the time dictated marriage in a more practical arrangement to join families or property, to insure a child's wealth, as companionship for a considerably more difficult life than most of face now, most likely still focused on the basics such as food on a table and a roof overhead.

If I was a mother and needed help with my children I would also be willing. Things weren't like they are now. No, or VERY few jobs for women, and NO women protection laws.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10192133708721471722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-71610454397840594482015-05-26T15:56:34.292-04:002015-05-26T15:56:34.292-04:00Hi, Holly, and welcome to GLIAS!
