Summary "A Journey to Ohio in 1810" as recorded in the journal of Margaret Van Horn Dwight is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative details the author's poignant journey from New England to Ohio, reflecting on the challenges faced during her travels, including the company she keeps and the various encounters along the way. This journal offers readers a personal glimpse into the life of Margaret Van Horn Dwight, who ultimately seeks a new beginning in the expanding frontier. The beginning of the text introduces readers to Margaret as she embarks on her journey with a group, expressing her bittersweet feelings about leaving friends behind. As they travel by wagon, she chronicles her emotional reflections, the stark realities of their journey, and the varied accommodations—ranging from hospitable to quite unsettling—along the route.
