Basically, the present work is a source book for overland emigration in 1846. Many diaries too short to merit book publication together provide the substance for Volume I. This first volume, made up primarily of diaries, but including a few letters written by the diarists, members of their families, and others, is rather particularistic; it invites us to share the experiences of specific overland travelers who may or may not be making the journey together.
