How anyone made it across the Oregon Road or Overland Pass is still a mystery to me. These people were incredibly strong willed and determined especially the women. I liked the book, however I would have liked to have read more of the actual diary entries. If your expecting a book containing many diaries you will be dissapointed. The book only contains 4 diaries and the rest you will see small snippets from others explaining certain situation that everyone faced as they made this trek. Their were 3 different migration treks that took places and each one a little different from the previous one. All 3 were very difficult, but in each trek lives were lost, people became sick, accidents were everywhere, and the Indians were a threat to the wagon parties.
