The book provides a vivid account of the hardships, challenges, and adventures that Summerhayes and her family faced during their time in the Southwest, including encounters with Native American tribes, harsh weather conditions, and isolation from civilization. The author also offers insights into the social and cultural dynamics of the time, including the role of women in the military and the treatment of Native Americans by the U.S. government.
