As an unofficial political analyst for the Roosevelt campaigns, Anna Pennybacker reported to campaign officials the political leanings of many prominent southwesterners. During World War Iqv she was active in the Food Administration of Texas and in 1934 on the Texas Centennialqv Commission. In 1937 she became the first woman in the history of Houston to give the commencement speech to the city's combined high schools.

The famous Taos scout Kit Carson used the experience he gained trapping in the Rocky Mountains to become a guide for General Stephen Watts Kearney as well as John Fremont, who saved his life. Carson describes his travels and adventures throughout the southwest and depicts his exploits with Indians and Mexicans. Carson's vivid account is a compelling example of both the fearlessness and the ruthlessness that typified many a man of his era. You might find yourself occasionally rooting for the other side while reading this decidedly "unvarnished prose."

Christopher Carson was apprenticed to a saddle-maker when "being anxious to travel for the purpose of seeing different countries, I concluded to join the first party for the Rocky Mountains." In 1826 he ran away and joined a party westward bound, and spent many years scouting, trapping, and hunting. He describes travelling in California in 1830: "We found signs of trappers on the San Joaquin. We followed their trail and, in a few days, overtook the party and found them to be of the Hudson Bay Company. They were sixty men strong, commanded by Peter Ogden. We trapped down the San Joaquin and its tributaries and found but little beaver, but game plenty, elk, deer, and antelope in thousands." His encompassing knowledge of the West led to his career as a guide and in the 1840's he was employed by James Fremont. In typical abbreviated fashion Carson packs a several month journey from (what is now) Utah to Wyoming to Washington into a single paragraph: "We now took up Bear River till we got above the Lake. Then crossed to and took up Malade, thence to Fort Hall where we met Fitzpatrick and party. Fremont from here took his party and proceeded in advance. Fitzpatrick keeping in rear some eight days march and we struck for the mouth of the Columbia River. Arrived safe at the Dalles on the Columbia. Fremont took four men and proceeded to Vancouver's to purchase provisions. I remained in charge of camp." In 1854 the army was engaged in a campaign against the Jicarilla Apache in New Mexico, and Carson acted as the principle guide to Major Carleton: "It was evident that the Indians were making for the Mosco Pass. The command marched through the Sangre de Cristo Pass...I discovered a trail of three Indians in the pass, followed it till I came to the main trail near the Huerfano...They had passed through the pass as predicted. The main trail was now taken and followed six days when the Indians were discovered. We marched over very rugged country, mountains, cañons, ravines had to be passed, but we overtook the Indians at last. The Indians were encamped in the east side of Fisher's Peak in the Raton Mountains. The troops charged in on the village. The Indians ran. Some were killed and about 40 head of horses were captured. They were followed until dark... A 1935 pamphlet about Kit Carson is subtitled "Pathfinder, Patriot and Humanitarian." By today's standards the world "humanitarian" would have to go, and a more complex understanding of the man and his era emerge. For instance, the laconic Carson barely mentions his Mexican and Indian wives in the brief autobiography he dictated to Colonel Peters." You may not get the entire story here, but you certainly experience the understated yet forceful personality behind the icon. The dialogue in this book has a ring of truth to it that is sometimes lacking in many of the books written by scouts, trappers and cowboys.

Mary had two brothers, Moses, born in 1849, and Amos, born in 1852. Only a few months after the birth of Amos, Marys mother Elizabeth died from the recurrence of an earlier illness. When Marys mother died, Mary took the name of her mother in full. She was from that time on known as Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, perpetuating her mothers name and work in her own writings. Elizabeths was not a rigid and cold intellectuality. Her imagination was vivid and she had a warm heart. Mary kept in close touch with the great movements of the times and engaged in them. She was active in many causes, including a variety of charities, temperance work, and reform work. Her work in these areas kept her heart warmly in sympathy with the struggling masses in society. At one point, the life of factory girls attracted her attention. She studied the conditions first hand and sought to be of help in improving their circumstances. She wrote a book, A Silent Partner as a result of her observation and efforts on their behalf. 

She worked toward abolition and temperance and once slavery was abolished, Elizabeth turned her thoughts and labors toward the betterment of womans condition. Much of her writing was now concerned with social issues and women's rights. She saw womens rights as the next great national and world-wide movement. She believed in a larger, sweeter, purer womanhood and so wrote with a purpose. She became author of a popular girl series, Gypsy Berynton, and included in her other works are: Up Hill, Avis, Hedged In, The Trotty Book, Old Maids Paradise, and perhaps her most famous, Gates Ajar, which passed through twenty editions in one year. Gates Ajar was written in 1868, offering a comforting view of the afterlife to women who had lost loved ones during the Civil War. 

In 1888, Elizabeth was married. She became the wife of Reverend Herbert D. Ward. They collaborated on three Biblical Romances and in 1896 she wrote her autobiography, Chapters From a Life. She died on January 28, 1911.
