Excerpt from Woman's Journeyings in the New Northwest In placing this simple and hastily written account of personal experience before the public, I wish to say that I am not unmindful of the fact that the haps and mishaps falling to the lot of an individual are not supposed to possess a high degree of interest for the world at large; but having read many scholarly dissertations on the West, and ostensibly graphic descriptions of Western life, without having received other than a vague impression much of which was erroneous and quickly vanished upon personal observation, I have taken the liberty of presuming that there are others under like impressions, and that to such, a plain statement of actual occurrences, while possessing no great merit, may be helpful in some small particular. As a consequence, I have endeavored to narrate lucidly what I saw, what I heard and the impressions I received; which has necessitated a relation of what I did, and what I said.
