Summary:
"If countless books and movies are to be believed, America's Wild West was, at heart, a world of cowboys and Indians, sheriffs and gunslingers, scruffy settlers and mountain men-a man's world. Here, Chris Enss, in the latest of her popular books to take on this stereotype, tells the stories of seventeen courageous women who faced down schoolrooms full of children on the open prairies and in the mining towns of the Old West. Now with five new teachers covered , the second edition of Frontier Teachers brings these important stories to light"-- Provided by publisher.
