Pioneer Woman
Historical marker location:
Denton, Texas
( Campus of Texas Woman's University (corner of Oakland Drive and Pioneer Circle))
Marker installed: 1936
Marking a trail in a pathless wilderness, pressing forward with unswerving courage, she met each untried situation with a resourcefulness equal to the need. With a glad heart she brought to her frontier family her homeland's cultural heritage. With delicate spiritual sensitiveness she illumined the dullness of routine and the loneliness of isolation with beauty and with awareness of her value to civilization. Such was the pioneer woman, the unsung saint of the nation's immortals.
