An expanded edition of one of the most original and provocative works of American history of the last decade, which documents the pioneering experiences and grit of American frontier women.
What was the journey like for the women who migrated west to Oregon and California in the mid-19th century? Historian Lillian Schlissel analyzes diaries, journals, letters, and memoirs of dozens of women who made this journey to form a picture of the journey from a woman’s perspective. Most of the women were young adults, quite a few were pregnant during the journey, and most were less enthusiastic about the journey than the men in their family. Schlissel breaks down her account by decade, allowing readers to see how the experience changed over time as the later travelers benefited from more settlements and sources of support along the trail than the earliest travelers. The book includes dozens of illustrations (photographs and maps), transcriptions of four representative diaries, and a table categorizing each of the women whose diaries are referenced by date of travel, age during the journey, marital status, number and ages of children, etc. ( )
Diaries of Women as they progressed the Journey to either California or Oregon. You rad about the fires the made, the Indians, river crossings and the amount of deaths . Very sad but also very intriguing. ( )
I enjoyed this book and have recommend it to others. The trials and suffering of these women is amazing. One stands in awe of the pioneers and my admiration grows as I consider my own pioneer ancestors. ( )
