Taking the Reins: Women Who Contributed to the Development of the West | Idaho Experience

This “Taking the Reins” episode of Idaho Experience traces the remarkable paths of two Idaho women: Katherine Caroline Wilkins, born to fortune-seeking pioneers in Oregon Territory, was one of the most successful horse-sellers in the United States. And May Arkwright Hutton became one of the richest women in the American West, using her newfound wealth to promote suffrage and later running for the Idaho Legislature.
