The wagon trains to California greatly decreased in 1851 as reports of deadly cholera on the trail the year before and strikeouts in gold prospecting became known. Those who did go west—about 2,160 men and 1,440 women—tended toward Oregon's rich Willamette Valley because of a new federal land law that awarded a husband and wife a full section.
Volume 3 of Covered Wagon Women contains the diaries and letters of six Oregon-bound women, as well as the journal of an English Mormon woman who described her experience all the way from Liverpool to Salt Lake City. The words of these pioneer women convey their exhilaration, courage, exhaustion, and terror in traveling so far into the unknown.

So much is the same yet every story is different
Although the covered wagons tended to travel the same routes, and overnight at many of the same locations, yet, despite some similarities, no two stories are the same, and each is written with an eye to detail, the hazards of the long journey and the staggering beauty of the raw land that daily unfolded before them.
