Inspired by the lives and struggles of her immigrant ancestors, Lanie Tiffenbach tells the stories of unforgettable women who leave their loved ones and journey into the unknown. These pioneer women detail their dangerous vouyages, hardships and isolation on the raw frontier of Minnesota, and losses they suffered during Indian wars, graasshopper plague, diphtheria epidemics, and deaths of children, balanced by their successes and simple joys and blessings. Based on documented and historical facts, these stories span a time period from 1857 to 1939. This book intertwines these courageous women's lives with the history of quilting in America and is beautifully illustrated with over one hundred vintage photos ad illustrations. Told in their own "voices," these inspiring stories are at the same time harrowing and hopeful, heartbreaking and uplifting, but always grounded in love of family.Lexicon
