My darlings, I haven't had a chance to go through and reply to every comment and thank each one of you personally but I will. You're help with the dissertation issues made me feel so much better.

Unfortunately, even backed with your assistance I couldn't make enough of a case to my supervisor and have hand to slightly chance to question so as to base it on source material I could get hold of - that of the Oregon trail. I'm still fascinated by the women in the southern migration and it might be something I come back to in the future when I'm less pressed to get it written to a tight deadline.

I want to thank you all again. It cheered and awed me immensely that so many people were to helpful, especially those of you I hardly know.
