You are so right about "hardy"....Brighid,<br />You are so right about "hardy".I had a great,great aunt who made the trip west on a wagon train. The stories she told when she was in her late nineties convinced me we are a weaker species all together.<br />I read "1000" on Kindle. Sure hope someone sees your wish list.

I'm putting it on my wish list at Amazon, along with my wish for a Kindle. I spent one whole summer reading diaries of women on the Oregon Trail.

That was a very shameful part of our American history. Linda Starr has a similar history.<br /><br />Olkhdan,<br />I really think you will enjoy this.

I am considering a reader, like Kindle. <br /><br />My half sister (biological) is involved in genealogy and has followed our forbears, some of which were interrelated with Cherokees. A couple that were on the Trail of Tears are buried near Searcy AR in a country cemetery.<br /><br />One branch of the Trail ran near there. Little is known about their demise.
