Frontier Lady of Letters

Frontier Lady of Letters is the personal memoir of Ines Fraser, a touching love story, but also a gripping account of how Ines met incredible challenges. Ines was a woman of tremendous fortitude, whose enthralling life spanned the early gold mining days on the western frontier to the beginning of the manned space program. Ines Fraser made the best of an incredibly difficult existence with her loving husband Jack in crude mining camps in borderland Arizona. Later, after her husband was horribly murdered, she raised her four children alone in San Diego during the Great Depression.

The centerpieces of this literary gold mine are seventy-five extremely personal letters that Jack Fraser wrote to Ines from 1913 to 1919. Many of these historical treasures are included. You will relish the scores of other family letters, old photographs, and examples of Ines’s poetry.
