Announcing a new book that is available.
A Pioneer Love Story, the Letters of Minnie Hobart. By Priscilla H.  
Wilson
  This book is the story of my grandmother Minnie’s participation in  
building community in new territory. My grandfather was also a  
remarkable man about whom much already had been written.
(From the Introduction) Shining with spirit and staying power, as a  
pioneer entering the Panhandle of Texas in 1888 Minnie Wood Warren  
Hobart was physically frailer than many pioneer women. Minnie’s  
enduring love for my grandfather sustained her through dramatic  
change. She grew up in Vermont – green, hilly, tranquil, with flowing  
water in the rivers. In 1888, she married her childhood sweetheart  
and moved to the Panhandle of Texas – brown, flat, windy, with sand  
patterns in the rivers. What if she had surrendered to the  
strangeness that was the Texas Panhandle? In writing this story, I  
wanted to go beyond my grandmother’s life as a footnote in history to  
discover the real story of this woman who lived in such changing and  
revolutionary times.
The book is based on Minnie's letters from Texas to her mother in  
Vermont. They form the core of the story and give the history of that  
part of the country from a woman's perspective. Over fifty pictures  
add to the story of Minnie’s life and times.
The dignity of economic situations and the struggle of making  
decisions are woven throughout the story. However, the main frame is  
how they created and maintained relationships as they built  
community. This book is a story of love.
