Savannah Mackenzie, Southern belle, has just been read her father's last will and testament. She must move to Wyoming Territory to the home of her father's brother, the ranch owner of the Double T. She was a baby when she last saw this family of strangers. Will Savannah find a way to move back East to civilization? Will she endure the crude behavior of the characters living in the rugged West? Will she follow the advice of friends, and stay away from all cowboys? As Wyoming Territory unfolds into statehood and earns the nickname, "Equality State", Savannah may find out something new about herself--her dreams, her strengths, her family, her Cheyenne community. Throughout this story, Savannah relies on the fact that she is not alone in the world, but that God is her constant companion.

In the early part of the twentieth century, migrants made their way from rural homes to cities in record numbers and many traveled west. Los Angeles became a destination. Women flocked to the growing town to join the film industry as workers and spectators, creating a "New Woman." Their efforts transformed filmmaking from a marginal business to a cosmopolitan, glamorous, and bohemian one. By 1920, Los Angeles had become the only western city where women outnumbered men. In Go West, Young Women, Hilary A. Hallett explores these relatively unknown new western women and their role in the development of Los Angeles and the nascent film industry. From Mary Pickford’s rise to become perhaps the most powerful woman of her age, to the racist moral panics of the post–World War I years that culminated in Hollywood’s first sex scandal, Hallett describes how the path through early Hollywood presaged the struggles over modern gender roles that animated the century to come.
