A Tenderfoot Bride

Autor Clarice E. Richards
en Limba Engleză Paperback
When our train left Colorado Springs and headed out into those vast stretches of the prairie, which spread East like a great green ocean from the foot of Pike's Peak, all the sensations of Christopher Columbus setting sail for a new world, and a few peculiarly my own, mingled in my breast. As the train pounded along I stole a look at Owen. He was absorbed in the contemplation of a map of our new holdings. Under that calm exterior I suspected hidden attributes of the primitive man. Certainly there was some reason why Western life was to his liking, having had the chance to choose.

Recenzii

"A Tenderfoot Bride should be a welcome addition to the files of Americana, for it contains within its covers a truer picture of ranch life in the West than a dozen or more 'Western stories' bearing all too plainly the dime novel brand."—New York Times

"She has given us more than . . . history, for one senses the writer's personality—a growth through the delights and trials of existence among elemental conditions to a broad vision of life and its responsibilities. Therein lies the rare charm of the book."—Bookman
