Hey Witches! This week we get into the stories of some women who lived during what we would call the pioneer days in the Western United States (think 1800s). These women truly went through it in terms of just about everything; ambushes, widowing, cholera, yellow fever, cattle drives, childbirth, pretty much every struggle a pioneer woman could face. Tune in to learn about Marie Dorien and Margaret Herffernan Borland!
