more than one emigrant commented on the desire for some elbow room. It
was the worst at the beginning of the journey because everyone was trying to
leave around the same time. There were times the dust was so bad that one
diarist commented that he could hardly see his wheel oxen. And then when
it rained they suffered through mud bogs. They were definitely traveling
in each other’s pockets.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Subject: [or-roots] 1852 correction<br>
<br>
I am currently working on my 1852 listings and in reviewing some of my email I
see that I made a statement several weeks ago that there were so many in the
emigration that in some places the wagons traveled 12 MILES wide. That should
have said 12 WAGONS wide. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused. My
brain and my fingers were obviously not working together. Stephenie Flora
