Women Homesteaders - single women who claimed the West
Over 100,000 single women took advantage of the Homestead Act of 1862 and for the first time claimed land in their own name.
These women are not in our history books. These women were instrumental in developing the West. These were the badass women who lived in the wilderness so that they could have independence, adventure and claim their part of American history.
This episode is Part 1 of the single women homesteaders who braved the wilderness to develop the American West.
