"With numbers swelled by Oregon-bound settlers and gold-seekers destined for California, the 1852 overland migration was the largest on record in a year when deadly cholera took a terrible toll in lives. Included here are firsthand accounts of this fateful year, including the words and thoughts of a young married couple, Mary Ann and Willis Boatman, released for the first time in book-length form.".
"In its immediacy, Surviving the Oregon Trail, 1852 opens a window to the travails of the emigrants - their stark camps, treacherous river crossings, and dishonest countrymen; the shimmering plains and mountain vastnesses; their trepidation at crossing ancient Indian lands; and the dark angel of death hovering over the wagon columns. But also found here are acts of valor, compassion, and kindness, and the hope for a new life in a new land at the end of the trail."--BOOK JACKET.
