Wow! I can't believe I am doing this again :) For the last 10 years or so, I maintained a website called "Cooking on the Prairie" and then a newsletter on "Household Hints in the 1800s" I gave them both up due to time restraints, but I missed researching and feeding my love of the Pionner period in American History. So--here we are back again on a blog.
How did I get into this whole pioneer thing? I have been a fan ever since I was in 3rd grade and my teacher created a whole unit on the Little House book - "Little House in the Big Woods". We did everything from churn butter to parch Indian corn. It was so much fun that I have followed the pioneers ever since.
I hope you enjoy looking back a 150 years into our history and discovering that these men and women were indeed pioneers as well as strong and tough in ways you and I today could never dream of.

So put away your modern conveniences and come with me on a historical journey into the "good old days"!
