I knew it was tough; I didn't realize how tough. I came across this after reading The Blue Tattoo enjoyed it. Every entry gives a slightly different twist on the hardship horror that these remarkable people experienced endured to develop our country. We owe them such a debt of gratitude respect. I think it would be good if at least one of these books were required reading in high school because I think most people have no idea.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Women in the 1800sBy SenojGreat book about the women who traveled west in covered wagons during the 1800s. Just reading the authentic diary entries and letters in this book make it worth reading; however; the author has put them in such a wonderful order that they seem to tell a real story all by themselves. It includes a very helpful index. Its wonderful!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Wagon TrainsBy TucsonLove; love; love women's diaries during the 1800's. They give a true picture of what women's struggles were. When you have read several diaries you realize women were the survivors and worked harder then the men. Sorry men it is just a fact. Some books are better than others; but you are literally reading about someone else's life. Diaries are very encouraging as even though times can be tough now-just surviving the day and burying so many children puts current problems into perspective.
