"We traveled this forenoon over the roughest and most desolate
piece of ground that was ever made," wrote Amelia Knight during her
1853 wagon train journey to Oregon. Some of the parties who
traveled with Knight were propelled by religious motives. Hannah
King, an Englishwoman and Mormon convert, was headed for Salt Lake
City. Her cultured, introspective diary touches on the feelings of
sensitive people bound together in a stressful undertaking. Celinda
Hines and Rachel Taylor were Methodists seeking their new Canaan in
Oregon. Also Oregon-bound in 1853 were Sarah (Sally) Perkins, whose
minimalist record cuts deep, and Eliza Butler Ground and Margaret
Butler Smith, sisters who wrote revealing letters after arriving.
Going to California in 1854 were Elizabeth Myrick, who wrote a
no-nonsense diary, and the teenage Mary Burrell, whose wit and
exuberance prevail.
