Women in Early Texas: Volume 13 (The Fred H. and Ella Mae Moore Texas History Reprint Series ; No. 13) Paperback – Import, 1 October 1994

I am a fairly recent resident of Texas (10 years) and often think while traveling around the state what it must have been like for a woman to come here, especially to the areas where there is little water and no trees. This is the book that answers these questions. It tells the stories of almost 50 women, most of whom came here before Texas became a state and who lived through the Civil War and Reconstruction. Almost every story has a picture of the lady and most are written by descendants. I wholehaertedly recommend it if you are interested in pioneer life.

Left out some very important women. Not very thorough.
