  A compilation of 54 letters exchanged between Leroy Carpenter (Colorado) and Martha Bennett (Iowa) that reveals the societal changes facing men and women in the late-nineteenth-century West and provides an alternative to studies of class and gender that tend to focus on the more urban and industrialized Eastern seaboard of the time.
