Days on the Road: Crossing the Plains in 1865, the Diary of Sarah Raymond Herndon

A nice little diary. Short but a perspective of crossing from Missouri to the west that is unique. The author, Sarah, leaves much unsaid, and much that was said was done very politely and with an amazingly positive perspective. To me it displays the prim and 'stiff upper lip' attitude that her family seems to observe for every situation whether thrilling or catastrophic. She doesn't give details of their suffering just stated facts concerning the journey and all they struggled through. So, although it was interesting to read and I would recommend it to anyone who has a fervor for diaries and accounts of the western trek but because the author is true to the times she lived in the details of the rigors fo the trip are left to our imagination.
