Scholarly work on children's narratives of the trail. Extracts from diaries, journals, letter and reminiscences are woven into the analytical framework developed by the author to interpret the experience of youngsters moving west, either with their families or on their own. Twenty three diaries, letters and journals of young pioneers and 430 reminiscences of adults who made the trek under the age of sixteen years are included in the analysis. Trails covered are the Oregon, California, and Mormon.
