Publisher's Note
The letters of Mary Ann Longley Riggs, pioneer and missionary, tell of her life with her husband and eight children as they worked with the Dakota Sioux in what is now Minnesota and South Dakota. Mary Ann's letters are a rich collection of observations and a detailed description of what she saw and experienced. The letters, sent to her family in Massachusetts, were collected and carefully and lovingly edited over fourteen years by Maida Leonard Riggs, Mary Ann's great-granddaughter.

Industry Reviews
Riggs has carefully edited over 250 letters her great grandmother Mary Ann Clark Longley Riggs wrote to her parents, brothers, sisters, and children while she and her husband lived in the Dakota Territory (later Minnesota) as missionaries to Native Americans. It was a period in U.S. history when the federal government tried to force tribes to abandon their old ways for a life of farming. The letters tell of Mary Ann's education, her first teaching experiences in Indiana, her arranged marriage to Stephen Riggs, raising eight children, and the hardships on the frontier among the tribes. This book will interest those studying the history of the frontier, missionaries, women, and Native Americans. Recommended for academic libraries. Linda McEwan, Elgin Community Coll., Ill.
