Items related to Women's Diaries of the Westward Journey
More than a quarter of a million Americans crossed the continental United States between 1840 and 1870 in one of the greatest migrations of modern times. Frontiersmen have become part of the legend, but pioneering was in fact, a family matter, and the westering experiences of American women are central to an accurate picture of what life was like on the frontier.
"These chronicles of women show an aspect of the westward saga seldom seen before and never in such depth. It is a revelation of the lives and minds of women...on this historic trek....Absorbing, informative, sobering reading. This is 'history as the stuff of daily struggle.'" (Edmund Fuller, The Wall Street Journal)
