Julia, a big-game hunter whom friends described as \"a clever shot with both rifle and shotgun,\" flouted gender conventions to build guest ranches in Montana and Arizona that attracted world-renowned entertainers and artists. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Bennett's entrepreneurship, however, was not a new family development. During the Civil War, her widowed grandmother and her seven-year-old daughter--Bennett's mother--set out from Missouri on a ten-month journey with little more than a yoke of oxen, a covered wagon, and the clothes on their backs. They faced countless heartbreaks and obstacles as they struggled to build a new life in the Montana Territory. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBurning the Breeze\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of three generations of women and their intrepid efforts to succeed in the American West.
