In July of 1918, Hallie Crawford Stillwell was a self
described “ nervous bride- to- be and twenty years old.” (Stillwell 104.) I too,
was 20 when I married. I know how a
young woman of that age feels when she is about to marry. Young brides-to-be are excited about the
future they will share with their future husband; the life they will create for
themselves and the lives they create as they have children. I know, I remember.

Stillwell wondered “what (her) role as a pioneer ranch wife
would be like.” (Stillwell 108.) She
would do all of the cooking, washing, and child rearing. Her life would be filled with challenge and
hardship, joy and hard work. Stillwell
remembers how she “was ready to accept my responsibilities as his wife…”
(Stillwell 113.)
