I read a book years ago that was a collection stories of women living on the Canadian frontier of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Occasional big happenings but mostly the trials and tribulations of everyday life on the prairie. Adding children, changing seasons, things we don't think about or didn't realize they faced. As it's been over 30 years and I bought it at a stop in Saskatchewan, I have no idea what the title was.
Ooh, I think I've found it. The Pioneer Years, 1895 1914: Memories Of Settlers Who Opened The West by Barry Broadfoot
Also there's a pdf online by Broadfoot.
