a true picture of emigration
The author, Rebecca Burlend, tells of her family travel from rural England to New Orleans in 1831. Burlend describes the numerous difficulties, sorrows, and ups and downs during this pioneering venture, when she accompanied by her husband, John, and their five children set off to the unknown. She offers an evocative look at their life in a log cabin, food, clothes, and furniture of the period; early churches and schools; the unspoiled countryside and its denizens.
