I know there are books out there but I can't think of any. Alec from Frontier Girl has read several - I'll ask her. I will tell you one thing I found interesting is to read some of the diaries from people foraging the Oregon Trail. http://www.isu.edu/%7Etrinmich/00.n.dairies.html

Thanks for the link, Jennifer! I just bookmarked it for future reading. I glanced through the front page. The story about the family who pickled a family member who died and carried him in his casket across the country sounds fascinating. Gruesome, but fascinating!
