This is enjoyable and easy reading about how army wives and their children spent their time at various military posts. This book delves into how they lived and what they did for entertainment.

This is one of the books on my shelves that I return to often. The author has used the diaries and letters of army wives to bring to life an aspect of army life and frontier history that is often overlooked. Highly recommended.

I read this book a few years ago, while my husband was stationed in the mohave desert. It was eye opening to see how much life has improved for army wives since the Frontier days. If you think your current post stinks, this book might make you feel much better about it. I enjoyed this book and came away with a fresh perspective. I was able to find things to like and ways to enjoy our remote post after reading Army Wives on the American Frontier. I really think these stories helped me to appreciate our last year in the desert more than if I'd never read them.
