Abigail Jane Scott was seventeen when she left Illinois with her
family in the spring of 1852. Her record of the journey west is
full of expressive detail: breakfasting in a snowstorm, walking
behind the wagons to keep warm, tasting buffalo meat, trying to
climb Independence Rock. She meets her future husband, Benjamin
Duniway, at the end of the Oregon Trail and, in the years to come,
finds fame as a writer and a leader of the suffrage movement in the
Northwest. Her grandson, David Duniway, edited her trail diary for
Covered "Wagon Women." This volume includes the equally vivid
diaries of other women who rode the wagons in 1852. Polly Coon of
Wisconsin recalls trading with the Indians. Martha Read, starting
from Illinois, is particularly alert to the suffering of the
animals, noting hundreds of dead cows and horses along the way.
Cecilia Adams and Parthenia Blank, twin sisters from Illinois,
jointly chronicle their once-in-a-lifetime experience.
