From the rear cover

Volume 3 of Covered Wagon Women contains the diaries and letters of six Oregon-bound women, as well as the journal of an English Mormon woman who described her experience all the way from Liverpool to Salt Lake City. The words of these pioneer women conveys their exhilaration, courage, exhaustion, and terror in traveling so far into the unknown.
