Book Review of "I Do!": Courtship, Love, and Marriage on the American Frontier : A Glimpse at America's Romantic Past Through Photographs, Diaries, and Journals

reviewed on + 1775 more book reviews


Well done with appropriate photos from the era discussed and including Blacks, Latinos, and Indians. She is informed by considerable research into diaries, letters, and now obscure books.
I bought the book for two bits on the library sale shelf, read some of it on the long bus/subway trip and know at least two other people read part of it at the old soldiers' home (we have few readers). With no takers, I pulled it after 8 weeks and sent it to fulfill the wish of a PBS comrade.
