About
This series of interconnected dramatic monologues illustrates the true stories of frontier women and children who were stranded on and settled along the trails to the West. Spanning the school year 1889–90, we follow the intimate day-to-day lives of a school teacher, her students, and their parents in the mythical town of Cottonwood.
