West to a Land of Plenty: The Diary of Teresa Angelino Viscardi by Jim Murphy

3.0

I had no previous knowledge of the settlement of Idaho, or honestly any of the west outside of California and Oregon. It was very interesting to see how the railway changed the travel for these immigrants and also interesting to see how unprepared this train journey left them for the rugged terrain that would need to be traveled via covered wagon once they reached the "end of the line."

I did love how much personality author Jim Murphy gives to Teresa. She's the first "funny" protagonist I've seen in the Dear American Series. Much more like a "real" girl would be than a stuffy historical figure!
