Abigail Jane Scott was seventeen when she left Illinois with her family in the spring of 1852. Her record of the journey west is full of expressive detail: breakfasting in a snowstorm, walking behind the wagons to keep warm, tasting buffalo meat, trying to climb Independence Rock. She meets her future husband, Benjamin Duniway, at the end of the Oregon Trail and, in the years to come, finds fame as a writer and a leader of the suffrage movement in the Northwest. Her grandson, David Duniway, edited her trail diary for Covered Wagon Women. This volume includes the equally vivid diaries of other women who rode the wagons in 1852. Polly Coon of Wisconsin recalls trading with the Indians. Martha Read, starting from Illinois, is particularly alert to the suffering of the animals, noting hundreds of dead cows and horses along the way. Cecilia Adams and Parthenia Blank, twin sisters from Illinois, jointly chronicle their once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Easy reading but with a lot of truth
No guilt or condemnation but very motivating. It makes me realize that we all have gifts that God has given us and that we can all do something important for Him. That just because we aren’t mega church pastors doesn’t mean there is not something for us to do for Him

Good book
Format: Paperback
Still working through it but I have no complaints. I have a shelf of no starch books and have not been disappointed by any. Some, of course, are better than others but this is a good book.
