These stations, placed every twenty or thirty miles, ensured that travelers would be able to obtain grain for their livestock and food for themselves. They also sped up the process of mail delivery to remote Western outposts. Tragically, the easing of overland travel coincided with renewed conflicts with the Cheyenne and other Plains Indians. The massacre of Black Kettle's people at Sand Creek instigated two years of bloody reprisals and counterreprisals."Amid this turmoil and change, these daring women continued to build on the example set by earlier women pioneers. As Harriet Loughary wrote upon her arrival in California, "[after] two thousands of miles in an ox team, making an average of eighteen miles a day enduring privations and dangers . . . When we think of the earliest pioneers . . . we feel an untold gratitude towards them." 588 0 Online resource; title from READ title page (OverDrive, viewed April 29, 2015). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Women pioneers|zWest (U.S.)|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010119151 650 0 Overland journeys to the Pacific.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85096196 650 7 Women pioneers.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1178307 650 7 Overland journeys to the Pacific.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1049347 651 0 West (U.S.)|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85146151 651 0 West (U.S.)|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008113458 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 700 1 Holmes, Kenneth L.,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n81098026|eeditor. 700 1 Montoya, María E.,|d1964-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n2001031706|eauthor of introduction. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1872938|zOnline eBook.
