Frontier Woman

This little tidbit was shared at the book club last evening…

By some standards, Wyoming is not considered a rural area but rather, the “Frontier.”


“Many frontier counties are located in the West, a part of the country where individual counties tend to cover a large geographic area. Even counties that have a town with a hospital, grocery store, and other services may also encompass areas that are much more rural and isolated, making them frontier counties.” Definition from the Rural Assistance Center

Hmm…no wonder I feel an affinity with Ms. Elinore Pruitt Stewart.
