I love books like this and am often in search of them. Can't wait to sit and read it. <BR/>The women are so often forgotten along the way. The men are the heros building the houses and killing the meat, aquiring the land and fighting off the bad guys...but many people forget about the loads and loads of work that these woman had to shoulder. <BR/>Looks like a good read, thank you.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10991662157282871377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13772881.post-1135918108399102422005-12-29T23:48:00.000-05:002005-12-29T23:48:00.000-05:00The courage they had is sad yet impressive. But wh...The courage they had is sad yet impressive. But what choice did they have? They followed thier men onward...and bravery grew by necessity I imagine. I sometimes think of how wonderful it was and is when antibiotics came to be and how many lives would have been saved with meds. I am sad for the graveyards that might not have been so soon needed. I'm sure there were many joys along the way, I hope! Perhaps I will read this some time too.Maggie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991999931680942893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13772881.post-1135910493802319682005-12-29T21:41:00.000-05:002005-12-29T21:41:00.000-05:00I love reading books like this, it sounds like one...I love reading books like this, it sounds like one to put on my wishlist.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01586170201285998758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13772881.post-1135894659973495662005-12-29T17:17:00.000-05:002005-12-29T17:17:00.000-05:00Hi Peggy, how are you today??

I just got "The Quilt That Walked To Golden"..which is a historic look at the women and the quilts that walked westward. The Golden being GOlden, CO. I wish it were small enough to read in bed, but alas, it is a heavyweight. I do have books of women's diaries from the westward journey. Such a incredibly difficult trip it must have been..so different from us today.
