and their her cousin william bernard and aging ag boone, who was the grandson of daniel boone were businesspartners and neighbors and you can see they had the the most luxurious houses at that time in the area. now boone was appointed indian agent and left for colorado. and so william had his uncle joined him in the business and they operated the store together and they prospered there on the santa fe trail. they were very successful in an 1860. they grossed over 260,000 from selling and loading freight onto some 2000 wagons. mamie returned to westport from baltimore in 1860. however by the spring of 1861 the civil war had started and as you know, this missouri was a slave state so to speak and the bernards were southern sympathizers. in fact, mamie and her friends had gathered in a sewing circle to hand stitch a confederate flag to send with the missouri men in in the confederate sea. in the spring of 1862 epiphonio agary and his mexican freighters traveled east on the trail to westport. and epiphonio arrived in a carriage pulled by a team of white horses in advance of his freight wagons t

daniel bell noted in 1956. women were to be found in nearly every field from railroad trainmen to baggage handlers to glaziers to auctioneers. it's a great boon that women's professional talents are valued now more than in the past. to the degree that feminism gave women a boost of self-confidence it can take a bow. but women also want and need the stability and security of marriage and the profound fulfillment of motherhood. in 2015 feminist amanda market objected that the republican worldview is one where even basic things like love connection and other basic human needs are being reclassified as privileges that should be available only to the wealthy. well market is right that love and connection are key to human flourishing. but she fails to account for feminism's role in putting those things further out of reach. betty friedan was one of the only second wave feminist leaders who actually had children and late in life. she largely recanted her anti-family views. the feminist narrative places an excessive focus on the burdens rather than the pleasures of femininity. so i talk in the book about this stupid 77 cent statistic. this is the ras
