From gearing up for the journey to homesteading in unsettled regions, pioneer men and women describe their hopes and fears as they claim their own piece of land in the nation's expanding frontier.
"The contributions in the eclectic mix come from individuals such as Eleanor Roosevelt, actress June Havoc, and hobo Box-Car Bertha, with each person's perspective taking readers directly into the experience through details and eye-opening observations."
