About Sherie Fox Schmauder
Our catalogue lists Colorado Mountain Women as a 2003 Western Reflections book, categorized as fiction and American historical fiction. Its description credits the stories to Sherie Schmauder and says they convey the experiences of women who lived in mining camps during the late 1890s and early 1900s.
We could not read any account of where Schmauder lived or what else she has written, and we will not invent one. What the record supports is the subject she chose: the daily struggle of women in makeshift camps.
What the books share
The one book under this name keeps to a single setting, the mining camp, and a single group of people, the women who lived there. The subject headings in the catalogue are mining camps, social life and customs, and women pioneers. The form is historical fiction, so the stories give shape to experiences the description calls a day to day struggle in uncivilized camps. The period is the late 1890s into the early 1900s, the years when many Colorado camps were still new.
