Product Description
Book Description
American frontier women of the 18th century were an
extraordinary people whose contribution to the creation of the United
States is one of the most enduring stories in history.
The gallant women of the frontier have never been given the full credit
they deserve for settling with their families in an uninhabited wilderness.
This book places on record the notable achievements of these heroines.
Norther Ireland author/journalist Billy Kennedy, in the eighth of his
Scots-Irish Chronicles, give recognition to the women whose lot was far
from glamorous in the bleak and lonely frontier territories. They faced
personal hardships and tragedies in hazardous conditions. While the men
toiled arduously from dawn to dusk to lay down a stake in the New World,
the women were the cornerstones of the home, the church, and the wider
community.
Women had to be strong, self-reliant, resourceful, and loyal to their
families. Through their honest and dedicated endeavours on the frontier, a
democratic and decent civilization emerged which now extends across the
great American expanse from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Indeed, the women
of the American frontier deserve our honor and admiration.

Women of the Frontier
12 May 2007
Format:Paperback
I enjoyed this book very much. After spending many hours researching my Scots-Irish ancesters and reading several books about their plight in helping to settle this country, it was very interesting to read about the parts played by the Women of the Frontier. The Socts-Irish women played a much bigger part in that settlement than most of us realize. I have now read several of Billy Kennedy's books about the Scots-Irish migration into and within this country. All of his books have been very well written and extremely enjoyable to read.
