Book Overview

""From The West To The West: Across The Plains To Oregon"" is a memoir written by Abigail Scott Duniway, an American suffragist and writer. The book details her family's journey from Illinois to Oregon in 1852, during the height of the Oregon Trail migration. Duniway's account provides a vivid and personal look at the challenges and hardships faced by pioneers traveling across the Great Plains and through the Rocky Mountains. She describes the harsh conditions of the trail, including dangerous river crossings, illness, and encounters with Native Americans. Duniway also provides insight into the social and cultural norms of the time, including gender roles and attitudes towards race.
