The wild west was tamed by courageous, enterprising men, who were prepared to take risks. Many considered themselves unworthy of a woman’s love.
Brave young women were prepared to find and redeem these men. And for the chance of having a caring husband and family, they would fight the isolation, and the unforgiving terrain of this dangerous land.
Here are some of their stories.
