I've read numerous memoirs about women crossing the plains in the 19th century, and enjoyed reading about their experiences. People who complain about delays at airports have no idea how fortunate they are.
This one was interesting, as, except for a few bad experiences, Miss Raymond's trip seemed to be almost idyllic. As if they were on a picnic. This is almost totally different from the other memoirs I've read. Either she was very fortunate, or she whitewashed her experiences.
