About the book

"Women's travel narratives of early America recorded journeys north and south along the eastern seaboard and west onto the Ohio frontier. In the women's keen observations and entertaining wit, readers will find bravado mixed with hesitation as women set forth on business, to relocate, and for pleasure. These travelers wrote compellingly of crossing rivers and mountains, facing hunger, encountering native Americans, sleeping in taverns, and confronting slavery, expressing themselves in voices that differed in sensibility from those of male explorers and travelers."--BOOK JACKET
