When Mary Rockwood Powers left her comfortable home in Wisconsin in 1846 with her doctor husband and three children, she was a reluctant emigrant.

Shortly into their travels west, it became painfully obvious that Doctor Powers was simply not up to the task of making sure his family "Outlasted the Trail" and Mary had to step in and become the head of the household with its canvas roof and wheels--leaving behind her ideals of femininity along with her beloved possessions.
