From Chrissie (posted elsewhere): "I nominated Pioneer Women by Joanna L Stratton. Well I am on page 65 and I have to say that this has LOTS of details. I don't mean that positively. OK I have not read much, but I feel obligated to tell people so they can vote properly."

I nominated Pioneer Women. I have already begun the book, and I must say it is very, very detailed. Actually I changed my vote from Pioneer Women to Killer Angels. These Pioneer Women had a terrible time, and yes the book is a remarkable testament to their spirit. Nevertheless I do not think I will give the book more than 3 stars. I have only read 127 pages, but I felt I should tell others of my change of opinion.

Sorry Sara. When I saw that my original comment was misplaced somewhere, I wrote it again!
