The result is the only known firsthand account of a remarkable woman thrust into the center of taming the American South--surviving floods, tornadoes, and fires; facing bears, panthers, and snakes; managing a boardinghouse in Arkansas that was home to an eccentric group of settlers; and running a logging camp in Mississippi that blazed a trail for development in the Mississippi Delta"--Amazon.com.

This story was fascinating for the first few chapters, then began to sound "fishy" to me. Too much detail for a first person account, when remembered by someone in very old age. There's no way the subject could have remembered these detailed conversations and events that occurred half a century or more earlier.
The bare substance of the story may in fact be true, but this reads like a novel--heavily padded with made-up "filler."
There are so many wonderful pioneer autobiographies around, and not a one of them reads like this one. Something's clearly suspect.
