| Summary | "Across the Plains to California in 1852: Journal of Mrs. Lodisa Frizzell" by Frizzell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This journal recounts the overland journey made by Lodisa Frizzell and her family from Illinois to California during the mid-19th century, a time marked by westward expansion and the Gold Rush era. The narrative provides personal insights into the challenges, landscapes, and experiences faced by pioneers on this arduous trek. The book details Mrs. Frizzell's journey starting from the Little Wabash River in Illinois, traversing through states like Missouri and Nebraska, and culminating at the Pacific Springs in Wyoming. It vividly portrays the daily life of a pioneer family, highlighting their encounters with nature, indigenous peoples, and the struggles against illness, fatigue, and loss. Along the way, Mrs. Frizzell shares poignant observations about her surroundings, the people she meets, and the emotional toll of leaving home behind. The journal is interspersed with personal anecdotes and reflections that bring to life the trials faced by those venturing into the unknown for a better future.
