| Summary |
"In this well-written monograph Paula M. Nelson tells the story of the settlement of 'west river country, ' that part of South Dakota west of the Missouri River ... Nelson's major contribution is her reconstruction of the social life of this generation of settlers ... Nelson is particularly sensitive to the experience of pioneer women, both those who labored within the family and those single women who homesteaded on their own."â€"American Historical Review"After the West Was Won is an impressively researched and beautifully written study |
