| Summary | "Army Letters from an Officer's Wife, 1871-1888" by Frances Marie Antoinette Mack Roe is a collection of personal letters written during the late 19th century that chronicles the experiences of an army officer’s wife living in the American West. The letters provide a vivid depiction of life on the frontier, detailing encounters with Native Americans, the harsh living conditions of military posts, and the daily challenges faced by women in that era. The beginning of the collection introduces the author as she arrives at Fort Lyon, Colorado, following an arduous journey. Her initial letters express discomfort and uncertainty about her new surroundings, filled with menacing towns and a lack of female companionship. As she settles in, she describes the peculiarities of army life, such as the interactions with soldiers and the customs of the officers, providing a humorous yet insightful commentary on her social experiences. From awkward moments at formal dinners to the excitement of seeing wild buffalo, the opening sets the stage for a life filled with adventure, adaptation, and the trials of living in a harsh but captivating landscape.
