Sarah E. Pulliam

Opis

Sarah Elizabeth (Lizzie) Hall Pulliam was a farm girl with a solid pioneer heritage. Her maternal grandparents settled on the western frontier of Missouri during the early 1800s, her father died as a "Forty-Niner" in California, and several of his family emigrated to the West Coast in the mid-1800s. After bearing nine children and moving between Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois, and Kansas, Sarah was no stranger to hardship, but even these experiences could not prepare her for what lay ahead as she started on her overland journey westward at the age of forty-six. "Sarah's Diary" is much more than the story of one family as told by one individual . it is the story of the courage, spirit, determination, and integrity that established the foundation of our nation.
