Memories of a Pioneer Woman is the autobiographical life story of Mrs. Fannie Highsmith. She begins with early childhood memories before the American Civil War and continues through to her retirement at Jones Valley, in Caddo Gap, Arkansas. The story was originally spoken by Fannie to her niece, Annie Smith Jones, who recorded it on typewritten paper.
This book-form edition was edited by Annie's great granddaughter in honor of the 100th year of their family reunion, celebrated at Jones Valley.
