Book Review of Hearts West : True Stories of Mail-Order Brides on the Frontier

Hearts West : True Stories of Mail-Order Brides on the Frontier
MSCOZY avatar reviewed on
Helpful Score: 12


I really liked reading the stories behind the mail order brides. Some of the tales were about specific alliances and others were just general happenings. It kind of reminded me of the personals used today in search of companionship/love. There are some neat photos included and not all the stories end happily ever after, just like real life. If you like learning about the west in the late 1800s-early 1900s, I think you will enjoy this book. It is a quick read.
