Description

Women's Voices from the Oregon Trail narrates the lives and evokes the voices of the women who traveled the 2,000-mile trail to Oregon 150 years ago, artfully blending in women's diaries, songs, history, poetry, recipes, and quilts. The author then retraces the trail as it is today, showing where to find markers, signposts, landmarks, and historical sites that leave traces of women's presence in "The Guide to Women's History Along the Oregon Trail." There are a Bibliography and an Index at the end of the book. 251/Softbound/Illustrations/Photographs/Maps.
