Everything took more time. The train trip was an adventure of up to a week of sitting and bumping along with few of the comforts of today's travel. Information traveled only as fast as the fastest horse, the mightiest train and the new age of the telegraph. Photography was also new; the first photograph was taken in 1848. Queen Victoria and the Industrial Age set the tone of the era. Both Will and Jean were college educated and this gave them a perspective on the world different from many pioneers. Coming from successful families, monetarily and academically, they set high goals for themselves, goals which changed over time as their situations changed. This extensive collection of letters and photographs describes William and Jean Herrick's struggles in their own words and gives us a vivid insight into life on the Frontier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-15465295\"\u003eMichael Spiller\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sunstone Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781632933713\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1632933713\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO006000\"\u003eHistorical\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO026000\"\u003ePersonal Memoirs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sunstone Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43831429136523,"sku":"9781632933713","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/5100\/7115\/files\/img_60613edc-f6c3-4040-90e3-5abf9d81dcd2.jpg?v=1755603387","url":"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/william-and-jean-herrick-pioneering-new-mexicans-the-herrick-family-in-words-and-photographs-early-1900s-new-mexico-9781632933713","provider":"CA Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
