Crossing the plains with ox teams in 1862, ca. 1900.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122630533

Typescript with handwritten corrections and photocopies of the item. Boquist writes of her journey from Mt. Sterling, Van Buren Co., Iowa to California in 1862. She travelled on the Oregon and California trails staying three days in Salt Lake City, Utah, "a beautiful little city." The local inhabitants came to buy what they had to sell at higher cost than the items were worth, and they were warned by a Mormon widow against the tyrannical rule of Brigham Young saying many "were kept there against their will." Boquist also writes about encounters with Ute Indians and other Indian groups.
