 WANTED: A girl who will love, honest, true and not sour; a nice little cooing dove, and willing to work in flour.
Desperate
to strike it rich during the Gold Rush, thousands of men traveled West
to the emerging frontier, where they outnumbered women twelve to one.
Only after they arrived did some of them realize how much they missed
female companionship.
Hearts West brings to life true stories of mail-order brides of the
Gold Rush era. Some found soul mates; others found themselves in
desperate situations. Complete with the actual hearts-and-hands
personal advertisements that began some of the long-distance
courtships, this fascinating book provides an up-close look at the leap
of faith these men and women were willing to take.
