No Life for a Lady - Agnes Morley Cleaveland. As a young girl she was the first to ride into the cliff dwelling area of the ancient ones in N.M.

Louisiana Voyages - Martha R. Field. "there sat opposite me a gentle faced woman who's tired eyes made one think they were the homes of unanswered prayers ...

Child of the Fighting Tenth - Forrestine C. (Birdie) Hooker. An unequaled army brat who was raised in Indian Territory (OK), Texas and Arizona. Her officer evening riding companion at Ft. Davis West Texas became a Congressional Medal Of Honor recipient. Rolling in tar and a busted feather pillow, at age two, she got her name "birdie"
which stayed with her the rest of her life.

I got mine from "my used Net bookstore" for very little. I look for condition, price; usually 3-8 dollars and an arid state.
