The diaries and letters of women who braved the overland trails during the great nineteenth-century westward migration are treasured documents in the study of the American West. These eight firsthand accounts are among the best ever written. They were selected for the power with which they portray the hardship, adventure, and boundless love for friends and family that characterized the overland experience. Some were written with the skilled pens of educated women. Others bear the marks of crude cabin learning, with archaic and imaginative spelling and a simplicity of expression. All convey the profound effect the westward trek had on these women.

For too long these diaries and letters were secreted away in attics and basements or collected dust on the shelves of manuscript collections across the country. Their publication gives us a fresh perspective on the pioneer experience.

Not water resistant
Color: silver black, Color: silver black
Have had it less than a month, shower and swim with watch on. Water is under the face. Very disappointed in the quality, I get it is a relatively cheap watch, but quality should be better than this. Will never buy again.

Water is getting into the watch.
Color: silver white
It’s a nice watch. I own pieces from other brands, and I stopped wearing this one for about a month; when I decided to put it back on, it was still running. I found this odd, since it’s supposed to be an automatic watch—meaning you need to wear it to keep it wound and functioning—and it supposedly doesn't use a battery. Another thing: every time I wash my hands, water gets inside the watch, even though it’s rated for a depth of 30 meters. I have my doubts as to whether it’s truly an automatic or not. Does anyone else here own one?

I absolutely love these watches! They are built like a tank. They can take a lot of abuse and still keep great time. I originally was going to buy just one to replace my old watch. Ended up buying several of them. Great gifts. The watches are beautiful and elegant, and I feel like a thief when I buy them because the price is so low I think its a typo. I have gotten several compliments on them when I wear them. I have busted up concrete and cleared heavy terrain ,cleaning areas out, wipe then off and they look Like I just took them out of the box. The only thing, and it's not a big deal to me.But the glow in the dark arms don't last long. They even give you the tool to adjust the wristband. Who does that🤣 The Quality of these watches are phenomenal
