Summary "Vanished Arizona: Recollections of the Army Life by a New England Woman" by Martha Summerhayes is a historical account reflecting the experiences of a woman in the U.S. Army during the late 19th century. The narrative chronicles the author’s journey as she relocates from the comforts of New England to the rugged landscapes of Arizona, navigating both the challenges of military life and the history of the American frontier. The opening of the book sets the stage for Martha Summerhayes’ unique perspective as a New England woman adapting to life as an army wife. Beginning in Germany, she shares her fascination with military culture and the army life she yearns to engage in, ultimately leading to her marriage to a second lieutenant. She vividly recounts her initial experiences with army housekeeping, her unexpected difficulties with cooking and logistics, and the profound differences between her previous life and the demanding realities of army life in Arizona. As the story unfolds, the challenges multiply, hinting at adventures and hardships she will face in the harsh terrain and difficult environment of the American Southwest.
