Abstract

"My dear, My dear," Elinore Stewart wrote to longtime correspondent Maria Wood on 27 April 1925, "the longer I live the greedier I am for life. I dread inactivity." How fortunate for readers who enjoyed the recounting of her varied activities in the collections of letters describing her life on a Wyoming homestead, Letters of a Woman Homesteader and Letters on an Elk Hunt, and for those who will come to know her-or know her better-through George's absorbing book!
