Over the next ten years, as she continued her schoolteaching career and carved out a home for herself in this inhospitable territory, she sent a steady stream of letters to her family back in Iowa. From the edge of modern America, Bess wrote long, gossipy accounts-\"our own continuing adventure story,\" according to her brother Paul-of frontier life on the high plains west of the Missouri River. Irrepressible, independent-minded, and evidently fearless, the self-styled Bachelor Bess gives us a firsthand, almost daily account of her homesteading adventures. We can all stake a claim in her energetic letters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52091692548384,"sku":"NEW0877453039","price":45.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/bachelor-bess-the-homesteading-letters-of-elizabeth-corey-1909-1919-american-land-life-0877453039","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
