"Here is a valuable and rare document providing a woman's
perspective on a western passage that has received little attention
from historians. Margaret Dwight's journal gives us a first-hand
account that goes way beyond the usual reckoning of miles traveled
and notes on the weather. She provides an intimate view of the
people on the trail. From her observations we get a sense of the
back-country settlements of Pennsylvania and Ohio in 1810, the
language, the sounds, and even the smells of this early American
West. Her journal is full of witty and occasionally sarcastic
remarks. For all her prejudices and self-admitted pride, she
emerges as a likeable person and valuable guide."-Jay Gitlin, in
his introduction. In his introduction, Jay Gitlin, a professor of
history at Yale University, says more about Margaret Van Horn
Dwight's wagon journey in 1810 from New Haven, Connecticut, to
Warren, Ohio, where she would find a husband, bear thirteen
children, and die in middle-age.
