Excerpt from An Uncrowned Queen: The Story of the Life of Frances E. Willard Told for Young People In the spring of the year 1846, travelers along the highway that led through the forests and swamps that lay between civilization and what was then called the Far West, might have seen, slowly making its way toward the land of the setting sun, a caravan, consisting of three canvas-covered wag ons, loaded with household goods and provisions, and containing members of a family, one of Whose names was to become illustrious on the pages of history. The steady-going horses of the first wagon were driven by the father of the family, Josiah Flint Willard; a man whose face showed him to be pos sessed of a keen and well-trained intellect and unusual determination, and who, on account of poor health, was leaving the cultured surroundings of his home in Oberlin, Ohio, where he had been teaching for some years, for the wild, free, western country, where prairies stretched acre upon acre in unmeasured lengths, where running streams watered the fields, and constant breezes kent the air pure and invigorating.
