Maura Jane Farrelly explores the history of the nineteenth-century United States via the lives of three people from prominent East Coast families who moved to Wyoming to escape a host of humiliations—only to discover that by 1890 the West was no longer a place where anyone could go to be forgotten and start over.

Maura Jane Farrelly is an associate professor of American studies at Brandeis University. She has worked as a reporter in Atlanta, Washington DC, and New York. Her books include Papist Patriots: The Making of an American Catholic Identity and Anti-Catholicism in America, 1620–1860.
