Army Letters from an Officer's Wife, 1871-1888

by Frances M. A. Roe

Frances Roe, a spirited young woman, chronicles her experiences as the wife of an Army officer stationed in the rugged frontier territories of the American West. Through her intimate letters to her family, she paints a vivid picture of life on the frontier during the late 19th century. From encounters with Native American tribes and the disappearing buffalo herds to the challenges of daily life in remote military camps, Frances offers a unique glimpse into a transformative period in American history. Her letters capture not only the physical challenges of the frontier but also the social and cultural changes that were reshaping the West. The book reveals a woman who embraced the adventure and hardship of frontier life, while also sharing her poignant reflections on the loneliness and isolation of life on the edge of civilization.
