Those who did go west--about 2,160 men and 1,440 women--tended toward Oregon's rich Willamette Valley because of a new federal land law that awarded a husband and wife a full section. \u003cp\u003eVolume 3 of \u003ci\u003eCovered Wagon Women\u003c\/i\u003e contains the diaries and letters of six Oregon-bound women, as well as the journal of an English Mormon woman who described her experience all the way from Liverpool to Salt Lake City. The words of these pioneer women convey their exhilaration, courage, exhaustion, and terror in traveling so far into the unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kenneth L.
