Wickenden’s pioneer story follows two Smith graduates (one the author’s grandmother) who headed out to tiny Elkhead, Colorado, in 1916. Eschewing high society for a community of homesteaders and a rough-hewn schoolhouse, the women faced blizzards, ruffians, and illness, but persevered, preserving their experiences in the letters home that richly illuminate this book.
All our in-store events are free and open to the public. All event titles are 20% off for members during the month in which the author appears at the store. Click here for directions. There is ample parking available in the lot behind the store and in the surrounding neighborhood.
If you can't come to an event and still want an autographed copy of the book, you may purchase titles in advance either in the store, over the phone (202.364.1919 or 1.800.722.0790), or through our website.
When buying online, simply use the checkout comments field to indicate that you would like us to request the author's signature at our event before shipping it to you. Event recordings on MP3 are also available online.
