She was newly married with a baby at her hip when the wagon left Kansas, and California was five months of walking away. Lavinia Porter's narrative of the 1860 crossing is domestic and exact: the water, the oxen, the graves beside the trail, and the loneliness of a young woman on a plain with no other women on it.
