"We traveled this forenoon over the roughest and most desolate piece of ground that was ever made", wrote Amelia Knight during her 1853 wagon train journey to Oregon. The letters and diaries of women like Amelia open a window on not only the hardships, privation, and danger the travelers endured, but also on their diverse backgrounds and religious beliefs--and the awesome landscape that challenged them with every step.

Once Upon a Wagon-Book One is a young sailor’s light-hearted story about his life in the US Navy at the close of WWII. It covers his first six months of service as portrayed through his letters to his family along with an accompanying narrative. It begins and ends in his home state of New Hampshire and includes his Boot Camp training, life aboard a battleship, and experiences in foreign countries. It is not a war story and does not include traumatic experiences that are often associated with the military. It is, however, a rather different kind of navy memoir that includes letters, a

1930. This is the story of Joe-born to the circus and true to its standards to the end-a vivid, unusual and dynamic character. But it is more than the story of one man, it is the circus itself, bustling, powerful, rowdy in action and excitement. If you have ever thrilled to the romance and color of circus life-the animals, the acrobats, the trainers, the clowns, all that world of picturesque rascaldom that follows the trail of the red wagon-you will find cause to thrill in this story of the open road with its great zest for life and its fresh, vigorous language and outlook.

The diaries and letters of women who braved the overland trails during the great nineteenth-century westward migration are treasured documents in the study of the American West. These eight firsthand accounts are among the best ever written. They were selected for the power with which they portray the hardship, adventure, and boundless love for friends and family that characterized the overland experience. Some were written with the skilled pens of educated women. Others bear the marks of crude cabin learning, with archaic and imaginative spelling and a simplicity of expression. All convey the
