That sounds fascinating, Shell. I'll have to see if my library has it. Laura's travels were relatively short compared to those going to Oregon or California, and while not easy, I think a lot less treacherous. Of course, I think LIW left negative stuff out to a certain degree (or had it edited out. Back then editors tended to treat children as if they were delicate and would be traumatized by too much negativity).
But the long journeys in real life must have been extremely hard on children. Has anyone ever read Ordeal By Hunger, a book about the Donner Pass tragedy? With each page all I could think was "oh, those poor people!" It just went from bad to worse to worse.
