Dear Diary,
My name is Olivia Clark
and I’ve lived in Elk Grove,

We’ve settled into
a daily routine now.
We wake as the sun rises.

candles since it was Pa’s birthday.

After dinner, we clear
the table, wash dishes,
and make beds in the tent.
On special nights, Pa and others
play their fiddles and harmonicas.
We sing and dance under the moon.

21. Most nights, we just want to rest.
I count backward to get to sleep.

Men take turns “sitting watch”
to protect the camp.

I try to be brave when
we cross rivers, but
it can be cold, wet, and scary,
When the rivers are low,
we just walk across,
When the rivers are high, we wait
until they are lower, and then
the oxen pull the wagons across,

23. As we cross, we watch
the fast-moving river currents.
Yesterday, one man drowned
and two wagons tipped over.
The families lost everything.
Wagons were sealed
with tar or pitch
to prevent leaks.

After endless prairies,
we’ve finally reached
the mountains, but climbing
the steep sides is hard work!
To go up, we have to lighten
our load, which means dumping
Ma’s stove and trunk.
