Covered Wagon Women: Diaries and Letters from the Western Trails, 1850 (Coverd Wagon Women)
Editorial Reviews
The Arizona Daily Star
This is a thoroughly charming narrative, refreshing for its attitude of confidence and lack of desperation. Margaret Frink is literate, observant and childless. The Frinks were cautious people who planned ahead and while they did their share of helping others, they were remarkably self-sufficient. Frink was a successful Indiana businessman. His wife was in every way his respected partner. If she had to stand in the rain for two hours and hold the horses, that's what she did. An accomplished horsewoman, she rode a great deal of the way. She was a disciplined diarist. Her information sounds dependable, her enthusiasm for the journey unfailing. The tape is read by Susan Baxter who portrays Frink, as a combination of self-satisfied and spunky.

I thought you would like to know that your audio book, Margaret A. Frink diary from COVERED WAGON WOMEN, was chosen to be a "staff pick of the month," by our assistant manager. I think your series, "Living Voices of the Past," is a great idea and I wish you luck with it.
