Passing of Brave Pioneer Woman Recalls Early West Hardships
One of the last pioneer women who helped settle the West has died. Mrs. James Fee, who crossed the plains in a covered wagon with her husband, settled near Fort Bidwell over sixty years ago and endured Indian raids and frontier dangers. She and other settlers relied on courage and rare shooting skill for protection while guarding log cabins and scattered acres against Shoshones and Piutes until a cavalry squadron at Fort Bidwell provided relief.
