Recenzii

An immensely readable book that peers closely into the lives of ordinary American frontier families."—Booklist

"The voices that emerge here eloquently tell [their] tale."—New Yorker

"One of the enduring myths of the Westward movement is the happy ending: families that survived the arduous journey found a rewarding new life despite hardships. . . . Here is a story of appalling poverty, feelings of inferiority, lack of communication. These are sad, even tragic, tales about women and family life on the frontier."—Publishers Weekly
