So Much to be Done

This entertaining book gives us a glimpse into the lives of women in the late 1800s on the frontier in mining towns and ranches. Their lot was immense amounts of work that never stopped: cooking, baking, sewing, washing, and much more. It was VERY factual and colorful. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a taste of another era, or thinks that life would be better "back then."
