First-hand account of coming of age in the early Southwest and California. First published more than a century and a half ago, Pattie's narrative is a unique look at life in the early Southwest and California. Told in a vivid first-person account, it is the story of a young man's attempt to adjust to a way of life far different from that in which he was raised. The story of a young man coming of age is universal, explaining why Pattie's story still draws readers today.

WOMEN'S VOICES FROM THE OREGON TRAIL narrates the lives and evokes the voices of the women who traveled the 2,000 mile trail to Oregon 150 years ago. The book artfully blends women's diaries, songs, history, poetry, recipes, and quilts. Susan Butruille first takes us to the Midwestern farms where most of the women came from, then on their brave and outlandish trek, and finally to the strange and bountiful land where a new home was supposed to be.

Whether for land, a chance for a new life, or for gold, California was the magnet that drew thousands of people during the 1840s, 50s and into the 60s. The California Trail was the way many emigrants and Argonauts chose. William Hill's book takes the reader there, starting at the various jumping-off places, across the Great Plains, the Rockies, the deserts, and finally over the Sierra Nevada. It examines the trail s historical development, alternate routes, and some of the available maps and guidebooks. Its extensive use of diaries enhances the reader s experience. Three diarists vividly describe the dreaded crossing of the Forty-Mile Desert and the Sierras. Especially impressive are its nearly 175 first-hand trail illustrations paired with relevant diary entries, comments and matching present-day photos. Most of the historic sites, fine museums and displays along the trail are also described. 
 Revised from earlier edition published by Tamarack Books in 1993.
