"The promise implicit in the title of this book is not broken. Mr. Brown has assembled a notable collection of women who took part in the migrations westward, mostly in the period of 18501880, and presents them, often with enthusiasm and always with sympathy. . . . I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Brown's book."-Stewart Holbrook, New York Herald Tribune Books, ""The promise implicit in the title of this book is not broken.
