What is the author's style in Pioneer Women: Voices from the Kansas Frontier by Joanna Stratton?

Author Joanna L. Stratton stumbled upon hundreds of accounts from pioneer women in her grandmother's attic. These accounts had been collected by her great-grandmother, Lilla Day Monroe, suffragist and lawyer, who intended to make them into a book. Stratton has fulfilled the desire of her great-grandmother, then, with this volume, which intermingles history with personal accounts of life on the Kansas frontier.
