Hello everyone.
I am proof reading these is My Words: The diary of Sarah Agnes Prine,
1881-1901 By Nancy E. Turner. I was wondering about the ads in the start of
the book. Do I leave them alone or delete them from the text? I am
submitting the items below this message and any assistance would be greatly
appreciated. As of right now I have left them alone. Again any assistance
with this stuff would be greatly appreciated and I'm sure would help all of
us too. Thanks for your time and cooperation with this matter and I hope
everyone is having a spectacular day.

The classic adventure of one courageous woman's life and struggles in the
Arizona Territories in the late nineteenth century
Amoving, exciting, and heartfelt American saga inspired by the author's own
family memoirs, these words belong to Sarah Prine, a woman of spirit and
fire who forges a full and remarkable existence in a harsh, unfamiliar
frontier. Scrupulously recording her steps down the path Providence has set
her upon from child to determined young adult to loving mother she shares
the turbulent events, both joyous and tragic, that molded her, and recalls
the enduring love with cavalry officer Captain Jack Elliot that gave her
strength and purpose.
Rich in authentic everyday details and alive with truly unforgettable
characters, These Is My Words brilliantly brings a vanished world to
breathtaking life again.
