As the title indicates, this is a first hand account of a young lady's experiences on a post civil war wagon train as it journeys to Virginia City, Montana (then known for its gold mines). The account is simple and straightforward, and makes for a good read both from a historical perspective and just as an interesting story. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Sarah Raymond was an unmarried woman of twenty-four who in May 1865--barely a month after the end of the Civil War--mounted her beloved pony and headed west alongside the wagon carrying her mother and two younger brothers. They traveled by wagon train over the Great Plains toward the Rocky Mountains, with no certain idea of where they would settle themselves but a strong desire to leave war-torn Missouri behind and start a new life. Days on the Road is the story of this remarkable journey and of the young woman who made it. Written on the trail and originally published in 1902, it is a tribute to all of the emigrants who made their way west and the tale of a truly extraordinary woman.
