Customer Reviews

For Yellowstone History Fans

If you've been to Yellowstone, you may have seen Mattie's grave and been curious as to who she was. This book answers that question as well as possible. The author went to great lengths to find information and she puts it together very well. I very much enjoyed the book and use the information often in my work in Yellowstone National Park. I recommend it for anyone who is interested in Yellowstone stories.

Fascinating and captivating

A Woman's Journey West is a must read! Nan Weber's unique approach of re-creating the life of a pioneer woman and her family is entertaining, educational and interesting. This is a well written book! I am looking forward to more works from this talented author!

The mystery of Mattie solved.

Great research and writing brings Mattie Culver to life. Nan Weber shows that even though Mattie Culver died in 1889, she still reach out and touch us today.
