"With the expertise of Director Emeritus and Senior Scholar of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West Peter H. Hassrick and newly appointed Haub Curator of Western American Art Laura F. Fry, the Haub Family Collection was shaped into a gift of artworks spanning more than 200 years of American history. In finding a home here, the collection establishes the only major museum collection of western American art in the Pacific Northwest, offering a new dimension of artistic discovery to Tacoma, the State of Washington, and beyond. In selecting their artwork, the Haubs have been guided by love of nature and interest in western history. From the shores of Puget Sound to the sagebrush of Wyoming, they have found inspiration, adventure, and peace in the landscapes of the western United States. It is their hope that this collection at Tacoma Art Museum will continue to inspire others in the years to come"--

Nine novellas in one book, all dealing with cowboys and their brides.
A riveting and previously untold history of the American West, as seen by the pioneering women who advocated for their rights amidst challenges of migration and settlement, and transformed the country in the process Between 1840 and 1910, hundreds of thousands of men and women traveled deep into the underdeveloped American West, lured by adventure, opportunity, and the spirit of Manifest Destiny. These settlers soon realized that survival in a new society required women to compromise eastern sensibilities and take on some of their husbands’ responsibilities. At a time when women had very few legal or economic--much less political--rights, these women soon proved just as essential as men to westward expansion. During the mid-nineteenth century, the traditional domestic model of womanhood shifted to include public service, with the women of the West becoming town mothers who established schools, churches, and philanthropies, while also coproviding for their families. They claimed their own homesteads and graduated from new, free coeducational colleges that provided career alternatives to marriage. In 1869, the men of the Wyoming Territory gave women the right to vote--partly to persuade more of them to move west--but with this victory in hand, western suffragists fought relentlessly until the rest of the region followed suit. By 1914 western women became the first American women to vote--a right still denied to women in every eastern state. In New Women in the Old West, Winifred Gallagher brings to life the riveting history of the little-known women--the White, Black, and Asian settlers, and the Native Americans and Hispanics they displaced--who played monumental roles in one of America's most transformative periods. Drawing on an extraordinary collection of research, Gallagher weaves together the striking legacy of the persistent individuals who not only created homes on weather-wracked prairies, but also played a vital, unrecognized role in the women's rights movement and forever redefined the "American woman."
Black women were always part of America's westward expansion. Some escaped slavery to live with the Native Americans, while others traveled west after the Civil War to settle the new lands. They came as servants and as independent pioneers struggling to make a life in the wilderness. Brief text and extraordinary photos record many of the black women who went West to find a new life for themselves and their families.
