Description

Elizabeth presents a lively account of the three-month journey she and her mother, both widows, took from New York to Green Bay in 1836. Travel was by stage coach, railroad (one of the earliest in this country), wagons when stages were not available, and Great Lakes steamers. She describes all the discomforts of travel of the time, including breakdowns, upsets, delays, storms, sea sickness, and other deprivations, but nothing fazes them. They travel on as cheerful as ever. Elizabeth is very well educated and illustrates her account with classical poetry, Shakespeare, mythology, and a few French and Latin expressions here and there. The diary concludes with Elizabeth and her companions going by sleigh to visit the Indians in the area of Lake Winnebago. There is a sense of humor throughout the diary and she never takes herself too seriously.
