      Used Very Good(1 Copy): Boeche, Raymond W. -Cover Design Very Good 5 1/4" x 8" 280 Pages Indexed. Introduction ot the Bison Books Edition by Anne Butler. Front cover and 25 pages have a bit of wrinkoling and turned up pages from improper storage. Otherwise atight suare book with no marks or stamps and the remaining pages are faultless. The cover is an oil on canvas The Emigrant Train Bedding Down for the Night 1867. Kenneth L. Holmes made the very wise editorial decision not to update, revise, or correct the quirky and often fascinating prose of these nineteenth-century women. The writing is rich with the sounds of common speech and jargon and it should be a gold mine for students of everyday life. First, it brings together in a single edition a major collection of the diaries of overland women. Second, this is probably the most perfectly documented edition a researcher will find. The women who traveled west in covered wagons during the 1840S speak through these letters and diaries. Here are the voices of Tamsen Donner and young Virginia Reed, members of the ill-fated Donner party; Patty Sessions, the Mormon midwife who delivered five babies on the trail between Omaha and Salt Lake City; Rachel Fisher, who buried both her husband and her little girl before reaching Oregon. Still others make themselves heard, starting out from different places and recording details along the way, from the mundane to the soul-shattering and spirit-lifting.
