Crossing the Isthmus of Panama on the backs of mules, inching their way across the Great American Desert in prairie schooners, they braved the unknown with great courage and daring. Some women followed their husbands, fathers, brothers, or lovers; others made their way alone, by their own choice. Countless letters, diaries, and reminiscences survive to testify to their feelings and their achieve- ments, to their experiences coping with adversity - and the freedom - they found at the frontier. In their own words they tell us how they laid another child to rest along the way, encountered Indians, thirsted under the merciless desert sun, and step- ped out of their burdensom layers of petticoats to do whatever needed to be done. ...
