"Another book influenced by our trip to the Southwest. After staying at the Bright Angel Lodge on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon I wanted to know more about the women who would leave their homes & move West. Interestingly, this book draws parallels to the girls that worked in the Lowell Mills in Mass. Belles of New England isn't referenced, but is a wonderful portrayal of life as a Mill Girl. I finished this book & am really glad that I took the time to dig a little deeper into the "women of the west". It was a very interesting book."
"Not particularly well written--some parts were repetitive. However, the information provided was really interesting. Part of recent history that I was unaware of."
"I enjoyed this book. It provided a historic look at the Santa Fe trail, the beginnings of the Sante Fe railroad, and Fred Harvey and the establishments he created along the railroad's route. The author interviewed many women and men who worked for the Harvey House Restaurants. The interviews were interspersed within the story of the foundings, heydays, and decline of each area/facility."
