Virginia K. Barlett's fascinating re-creation of the lives of women in the time of great social change that followed the end of the French and Indian War in Western Pennsylvania tells how they responded to the physical an psychological hardships they faced. Quoting from journals, letters, cookbooks, travelers' accounts (approving and critical), memoirs, and newspapers, the author brings us the voices of men and women commenting seriously and humorously on what was going on around them.
