Narrates lives and evokes the voices of the women who traveled the 2,000 miles trail to Oregon 150 years ago, artfully blending in women's diaries, songs, history, poetry, recipes, and quilts. The author takes us to the Midwestern farms where most of the women came from, then on their outlandish trek, and finally to the strange and beautiful land where a new home was supposed to be. 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 from this book.
