Little else can make the past come alive more than the actual words of those who witnessed history in the making. This page contains a revolving exhibit of letter and journal excerpts, dating from the mid 1700s to the mid 1800s. These passages capture the spirits and voices, hopes and dreams, failures and triumphs of the explorers, pioneers and settlers who experienced our country's wildernesses first-hand.
