Ida:Her Labor of
Love
Ida: Her Labor of
Love is the expanded biography of a Colorado pioneer woman's struggles
and joys while raising a large family. In the late 1800's, men rushed
to Colorado
looking for gold and riches. The families they brought along found
themselves
in a wilderness with only a few rough mining towns. Here is the
compelling
story, as told by her grand daughter, of Ida Herwick's tribulations and
joys as she struggles -- while living in sod huts, tents, and
sometimes, if she was lucky, a real log house -- to keep her large
family alive and healthy.
