Between 1840 and 1870, thousands of women arrived in the Pacific Northwest by way of the Oregon Trail. This migration or "leave taking" was a life-changing experience, consuming the longest time and widest distance these women would travel to establish homes and farms and help build communities for themselves and their families. This fascinating book presents quilts as documents of history to discover the women and their life stories.

reviewed Quilts of the Oregon Trail on July 15, 2009 Quilts of the Oregon Trail
I found this gem at the library and have totally enjoyed reading it! The back cover has a fantastic quote that sums it up beautifully:
"It has long been assumed that women who do not write leave no record...but there are ways as good as words with which women speak. This book teaches us to "read" the quilts women made." Maureen Ursenbach Beecher
For each of the quilts, you'll find the following and more:
*color pictures of the actual pioneer quilts
*a history of the woman, or women, who created the quilt
*a picture of the quiltmaker
*info about the pattern, techniques, and fabrics used
*notes about how the quilt might have been used
What a refreshingly different approach to early Mormon history!
