PEAVY, LINDA; SMITH, URSULA. Frontier Children.
University of Oklahoma, Norman: 1999. 0806131616 / 9780806131610 h Hardcover with dustjacket. Very good condition.
Enriched by more than 200 vintage photographs, Frontier Children is a visual and literary montage of the faces and scenes of childhood in the nineteenth-century American West. Drawing from a wide range of sources, Linda Peavy and Ursula Smith have brought together stories and images that erase stereotypes to reveal the infinite variety of childhood experiences on the western frontier. "Linda Peavy and Ursula Smith lead us into two territories that are both intimate and alien. The first is the American frontier, which haunts our memory as a place of national beginnings. . . . The second territory is that of individual origins - our childhoods. We form our personal myths, the stories that explain who we are, through remembered moments from the age of seven or twelve. . . . Like our selected frontier episodes, these personal memories shaped us, we believe; and so they are still with us. . . . The experiences of frontier children are a distinctively American variation of what draws us to all history."--Elliott West, from the Foreword

PEAVY, LINDA & SMITH, URSULA. Full-court Quest: The Girls From Fort Shaw Indian School Basketball Champions Of The World.
University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: 2008. First Edition. h Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book.
How ten girls shattered prevailing perceptions toward Indian peoples and women athletes, one game at a time Most fans of women's basketball would be startled to learn that girls' teams were making their mark more than a century agoÑand that none was more prominent than a team from an isolated Indian boarding school in Montana. Playing like "lambent flames" across the polished floors of dance halls, armories, and gymnasiums, the girls from Fort Shaw stormed the state to emerge as Montana's first basketball champions. Taking their game to the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, these young women introduced an international audience to the fledgling game and returned home with a trophy declaring them champions. World champions. And yet their triumphs were forgottenÑuntil Linda Peavy and Ursula Smith chanced upon a team photo and embarked on a ten-year journey of discovery. Their in-depth research and extensive collaboration with the teammates' descendents and tribal kin have resulted in a narrative as entertaining as it is authentic. Full-Court Quest offers a rare glimpse into American Indian life and into the world of women's basketball before "girls' rules" temporarily shackled the sport. For anyone captivated by Sea Biscuit, A League of Their Own, and other accounts of unlikely champions, this book rates as nothing but net. Linda Peavy and Ursula Smith began their collaborative work in women's history and biography in Bozeman, Montana. In the intervening years they have coauthored ten books, including Women in Waiting in the Westward Movement, Pioneer Women, Frontier Children, and Frontier House. Currently residing in Vermont, they have given presentations and workshops across the nation, including at the Library of Congress and the White House.

PEAVY, LINDA & SMITH, URSULA. Pioneer Women: The Lives Of Women On The Frontier.
University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: 1998. h Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book.
Over 200 Duo-tone illustrations. Pioneer Women provides a rare look at frontier life through the eyes of the pioneer women who settled the American West. Linda Peavy and Ursula Smith vividly describe the hardships such women endured journeying west and making homes and communities on the frontier. Their hopes and fears and, most of all, their courage in the face of adversity are revealed in excerpts from journals, letters, and oral histories. Illustrated with a fascinating collection of seldom-seen photographs, Pioneer Women reveals the faces as well as the voices of women who lived on the frontier. The authors portray a wide variety of women, from those who found liberty and confidence in undertaking "men's work" to those who felt burdened by the wind, the weather, and the struggle of frontier life. "This 'patchwork' of women's words and pictures captures the pioneer experience memorably and elegantly. Just as a quilt is made up of many small pieces, this books is based on a multitude of individual stories and a rich range of source material. The authors stitch the pieces together skillfully and unobtrusively, presenting us with an overall picture that is both detailed and sweeping in its design. This is a book to enjoy and learn from. Like an heirloom quilt, this is a book to be treasured."--Susan Armitage, coeditor of The Women's West and Writing The Range

During the last half of the nineteenth century, thousands of men went west in search of gold, land, or adventure - leaving their wives to handle family, farm, and business affairs on their own.
