Comments and Pre-Views on

"Women of The West"

By the Governors of Several Western States


"It strikes me that this publication will fill a great need. I do not think that, heretofore, just recognition has been given to the work of our outstanding women in the West. I trust this book will help to supply this lack."—Hon. Geo. W. P. Hunt, Governor of Arizona.


"Many noble women have contributed their full portion to the inspiring history of the West. It is gratifying to learn they are to receive due recognition in the new publication, 'Women of the West'."—Hon. H. C. Baldridge, Governor of Idaho.


"I am glad to learn that accurate biographical data concerning the women of the West is to be made available by your firm. Since the days of pioneer mothers, the women of Oregon have contributed much to the progress and welfare of the state. A proper recognition of the valuable services of our women citizens is eminently desirable." —Hon. I. L. Patterson, Governor of Oregon.


"Judging from the folder which you were good enough to send me, I believe that you are making a well worth while contribution to the literature of the West in your publication of the volume, 'Women of the West'. It is an interesting undertaking, and I wish you success."—Hon. George H. Dern, Governor of Utah.
