The article presents information on the book "A Woman's Story of Pioneer Illinois," by Christiana Holmes Tillson. Tillson has described in this book her and her husband's trip to Illinois. This fascinating book states that their trip when they had gone West in 1819 and Tillson's husband established himself as land agent and county postmaster at Hillsboro, Illinois. So when, in 1822, his Massachusetts bride went back with him she found her lot much more favored than that of the average pioneer woman whom fate made the heroine of the frontier.
