On her family's long trek in the wagon train from the Missouri River country to California, she did a woman's work and took a woman's responsibilities.But she still was not allowed to wear her hair pinned up in puffs and coils like the other girls of her age. Especially when Jed, the handsome South Pass Scout, showed signs of interest in her. Ellen chafed against her parents' unwillingness to have her grow up.But grow up she did--in character as well as appearance--during the long, exhausting, exciting journey across the continent. She learned the value of patience, gentleness, and good temper as she cared for her five brothers and sisters when their father and mother were both ill. Courage and endurance became her dependable supports through days of fatigue and nights of anxiety.

The Boones are a family who will remain long in the memory, every one of them a real individual, and all united in purpose and affection.
