Trade Review
"One of the finest journals by women in 19th century America, Susan Magoffin's book not only gives us a sparkling account of the beauties of the Southwest and its history, but also signals a distinct change in American perception of Mexicans, whom she learned to admire and respect, even in a time of hostility and war."—Sandra Myres, editor, Ho for California: Women's Overland Diaries from the Huntington Library
