Women's Diaries of the Westward Journey by Lillian Schlissel

4.0

I found this book very interesting and very accessible - it reads like a novel.
The first half of the book is a historical explanation and account of the westward journey from the point of view of women. The second half regroups a few diaries of the trail by women. There are also quite a lot of photographs, which I really enjoyed.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in the topic.
