Travel along with Margaret Frink on her 1850 overland journey to California, courtesy of staff at Scotts Bluff National Monument, a unit of your National Park System.3/30 - 4/1/1850Mrs. Frink began her journey from Martinsville, Indiana (southwest of Indianapolis) on this day in 1850, bound for Sacramento, California. Her company was small, being her, her husband, a young boy that they had adopted, and a young man. Most nights, before they crossed the Missouri River, were spent in the homes of kind strangers. One of these homeowners was a former sea captain in Manhattan, Indiana, who warned them of the disaster of scurvy that befell the emigrants of 1849. He advised them how to avoid such a catastrophe.Mrs. Frink noticed many people gawk at her in fascination, as if they had never seen a woman going across the trail to the gold fields. She recorded what one woman said: "There's a lady in the party; and surely there's no man going to take a woman on such a journey as that, across the plains." She received other comments on the "hardihood of a woman attempting to make such a difficult journey."By April 1, they were near Terre Haute, IN.This map by T.H. Jefferson was one of many that would have been studied by emigrants preparing to head west. Explore it in detail in the Library of Congress catalog: https://www.loc.gov/resource/g4051p.tr000113/Join us next Tuesday to continue Mrs. Frink's journey. #FindYourPark #californiatrail #MidwestNPS #martinsvilleindiana #sacramento ...

What preparations would you make for a trip cross-country?Mrs. Margaret Frink:"The wagon was designed expressly for the trip, it being built light, with everything planned for convenience. It was so arranged that when closed up, it could be used as our bedroom. The bottom was divided off into little compartments or cupboards. ... The wagon was lined with green cloth, to make it pleasant and soft for the eye.... To prepare for crossing the deserts, we also had two India-rubber bottles holding five gallons each, for carrying water."Preparation for traveling the 2,000+ miles across the emigrant trails was critical to any emigrant's success. Many would study months before their departure and many guidebooks would be written, claiming to offer the best advice. Some of the better ones included "The Latter-Day Saints' Emigrant Guide," "The National Wagon Road," and "The Prairie Traveler."The Frink's preparations go beyond what most emigrants would do, even thinking so far ahead as to buy wood for their home at $4/thousand foot and shipping it to California by sea, instead of the $400/thousand foot it might cost in California.Join us on Thursday for the Frinks' departure. #MidwestNPS #FindYourPark #californiatrail NPS photo from Scotts Bluff National Monument. Not as fancy as that of Mrs. and Mr. Frink but it got the job done. ... See MoreSee Less

Could you leave friends and family behind for an unknown life in an unknown place?Some might wonder why someone would pick up everything that they had and leave friends and family behind for an unknown life in an unknown place with no guarantee of success in a frontier that was little understood. Yet, even today, many experience the same thing, minus a wagon and 3+ month journey. Some sought free or cheap land, others sought adventure, religious freedom, freedom from politics, freedom from bondage, and for a majority of the people who would travel overland, as Margaret Frink put it, for "delightful climate and abundance of gold." It was a chance at a better life, often a gamble.There were plenty of skeptics. Mrs. Frink notes her experience with them: "We know nothing of frontier life, nor how to prepare for it. ... we were met with all the discouragements and obstructions that our neighbors and the people of our country could invent or imagine, to induce us not to attempt such a perilous journey." #MidwestNPS #FindYourPark #CaliforniaTrail Sketch of "The Mining Business in Four Pictures," undated, Britton & Rey, call number: 48052:009, The Huntington Library, San Marino, California ...
