I'm and old west history buff so I bought this book because it seemed interesting. And it was! How women were in high demand and how they settled the west domestically, very neat. Also you will see how very similar personal ads for partners are not very different from how it’s done today. We all crave companionship and love. So I recommend it only if this is a subject that really interests you. If not you may find it a little dry. I just passed it on to a friend of mine, so the jury is still out for that.
Well-written stories about mail order brides for those lonely men in the west.

Was informative..lots of newsclippings of adds..but nice book, easy read..took me 2 days to finish. Good for reference.
I liked the true tales of the mail order brides, the information and feelings about the brides did come through in the narratives. The only bad thing about this book is it wasn't long enough, it should have been four times as long because I enjoyed it so much! Great book for any history buff.
