A lively and penetrating analysis of what the overland journey was really like for midwestern farm families in the mid-1800s "Not only illuminates the daily life of rural Americans but . . . also begins to compensate for the male orientation of so much of western history." -- Journal of Social History Through the subtle use of contemporary diaries, memoirs, and even folk songs, John Mack Faragher dispels the common stereotypes of male and female roles and reveals the dynamic of pioneer family relationships. This edition includes a new preface in which Faragher looks back on the social context in which he formulated his original thesis and provides a new supplemental bibliography.
