Description

Complete with historic photographs and actual advertisements from both women seeking husbands and males seeking brides, Object Matrimony  includes stories of courageous mail order brides and their exploits as well as stories of the marriage brokers, mercenary matchmakers looking to profit as merchants did off of the miners and settlers. Some of these stories end happily ever after; others reveal desperate situations that robbed the brides of their youth and sometimes their lives.
