Object Matrimony:
The Risky Business of Mail-Order Matchmaking on the Western Frontier
“I am a man of wealth and position,” said the widower Shyon Brane to the marriage broker, “and I seek a suitable mate. She must be handsome, clean, economical, industrious, and virtuous, a good cook, she must be a thrifty buyer, a capable housekeeper, and not easily stressed. She must know something of music and arts, dance well and be able to discourse intelligently on history and philosophy withal, she must be cheerful and of affectionate disposition.”
“Oh,” said the marriage broker, “you’ve come too late. One thousand years ago there was such a paragon but the gods took her to keep house for them. There is no wife for you, but the employment agency can supply you with a dozen domestics who, in a measure, may meet your demands.”
To learn more about the serious business of finding a husband or wife by mail in the wide-open days of the Old West read Object Matrimony: The Risky Business of Mail-Order Matchmaking on the Western Frontier.
