Description
I left mine where every traveler would see it . I had friends behind and I wished them to know that I was still ahead." - Richard Keen, in his diaryOverlander travelers had a habit of writing their names and leaving messages along the way. Much of this graffiti-often left as a beacon for friends and family following behind-survives today near their campsites and pathways. Based on approximately twenty-five years of painstaking research across twelve states, Brown's work includes names and locations, and when available, dates, diary entries, and biographical information. This monumental compilation of emigrant inscriptions is an invaluable resource for trail buffs, historians, genealogists, or anyone interested in the fascinating stories of people who journeyed west.
