Absaraka, Home of the Crows is a memoir written by Margaret Irvin Carrington in 1868. The book chronicles her experiences as an officer’s wife on the Great Plains during the late 19th century. Carrington provides a vivid and detailed account of life on the frontier, including encounters with Native American tribes such as the Crow and Sioux, and the challenges of living in a harsh and unforgiving environment. She also offers insights into the social and cultural dynamics of the time, including the roles of women and the impact of westward expansion on the indigenous populations. Through her personal anecdotes and observations, Carrington provides a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
