This was the time of the American conquest of the Southwest. They first followed Kearny's Army of the West into Santa Fe. Then they followed Doniphan and his Missouri Volunteers into Chihuahua, where they stayed for months. Here we have a colorful and exciting journal of an observant young woman who travelled this region at a crucial period of American history.
