Letters written in 1878 by a young woman new to the West, and found in an old trunk in the twenty-first century, reveal the daily life of a bygone era in the towns along the Eastern Sierra of California. Revealed are the early pioneers who settled this part of the state, the early ranchers, women both good and "bad," and miners who brought forth gold and silver from the mines of Cerro Gordo, Mammoth, Lundy, Aurora and Bodie. The letters describe the people, places and natural beauty of the area before it became today's recreational paradise, before its water was sent down the California aqueduct to Los Angeles, and before the long asphalt ribbon of Highway 395 cut through it.

Letters discovered in an old trunk introduce the modern traveler to the towns of the Owens Valley in California, back when pioneers, cowboys, and women referred to as soiled doves still walked their streets and gold mines flourished in the Eastern Sierra: Cerro Gordo, Mammoth, Lundy, Aurora and Bodie. Emilys letters describe her adventures, her friendships with women who traveled to the Far West over the Oregon Trail only twenty years earlier, and her years living in the wild mining town of Bodie. For two decades, she describes to her friend Carrie the people, places, and natural beauty of the Eastern Sierra and the Owens Valley before it became todays recreational paradise and before the California Aqueduct cut through the length of the Valley carrying Sierra snow melt to Los Angeles.

A window into love, marriage, family, and war at the start of the twentieth century, this book presents original letters from a British Army sergeant to his young wife. Some, written in Bermuda in 1899, cover the couples courtship, engagement, marriage, and migration to England. Others are from South Africa, where James Hill served from 1900 to 1902 in the South African War. He seeks to reassure his wife, Carrie, of his safety and expresses his concerns for her. Carrie, newly arrived in Britain, stayed with her paternal grandparents near Chatham, where her first child was born in 1900. She treasured the letters for the rest of her life. Carries own voice is silent. Her feelings, preoccupations, tasks, and entertainments are mediated by Jim as he responds to the contents of her letters in his replies. The silence of her destroyed letters compounds her lifelong verbal silence about her early life in Bermuda. The letters and background commentary will explore family relationships and the impact of migration across continents at a time when gendered roles were assumed to be fixed but in reality had to be negotiated.
