In the wake of the Civil War  land seekers were pouring into the West and displacing the Indian tribes. Although Omaha was beginning to put on social airs  Nebraska was still a raw territory. Not one to take shelter and spend her days sewing and serving tea  Linnie traveled up the Missouri to deliver a \"Dear John\" message to her cousins fianc  a handsome lieutenant--and in a wink became the wife of this stranger. They came to love and trust each other  and their survival on the frontier required nothing less  and a good deal more  from them than that. Their harrowing story is based on the diary of an actual army wife who recorded the daily weather-internal and external. The Lieutenants Lady  which appeared on best-seller lists in 1942  is part of a series of stories and novels by Bess Streeter Aldrich to be reprinted by the University of Nebraska Press.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45951485280309,"sku":"ByrdShop_080325914X","price":241.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780803259140.jpg?v=1788109515","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-lieutenants-lady-9780803259140","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
