Pryor Wives: Stories of Family, Fortune, and Fiasco
Pryor Wives is unlike most genealogy books. It does not focus on one family—instead the author looks at women who married into several Pryor families who shared a common surname, but probably did not share blood or share a family tree. The book contains sketches of some women who married into the author’s own Pryor family, but it reaches across the branches of multiple family trees to look at women in a time that women seldom appeared in records.
