Covered Wagon Women, Volume 10: Diaries and Letters from the Western Trails, 1875-1883

This was a wonderful collection of stories from only a small portion of the women who made their way west along the Oregon Trail. Most are quite short and merely diary entries, others are from the letters sent back east from on the trail. I read this for fun and it was worth it. I love history and learning about the women of old by their own stories, rather than a hyped-up Hollywood tale (we all know the movies). I would recommend this to any woman, young or old, who is interested in women's historical accounts from the mid-late 1800s.
