Having lived all of her nineteen years in New York City, Fannie Mullen could hardly have known what life lay ahead of her when she married Civil War veteran, Lieutenant Orsemus B. Boyd. They would spend the next twenty years moving from post to post on the American frontier, raising three children, making lifelong friendships, and seeing some of the wildest and most beautiful country on earth. Yet she adapted remarkably well and came to love the West and her home in the wilds of the territories. When her husband died suddenly in 1885, she went back to the east and eventually wrote this lovely account of her time with the United States Cavalry on the border. She was made of tough stuff and survived scorpions, snakes, Indians, and army politics. You'll find her classic memoir fascinating and charming. Every memoir of the American West provides us with another view of the movement that changed the country forever.
