A travers les grandes plaines

Using her actual diary gives an intimate glimpse into her experiences, but I'm curious how the author approached shaping the narrative around these real entries.

Herndon’s recounting of her journey was so raw and vivid that it made me wonder how she maintained her spirit amidst such hardship.

I'm interested in how much creative liberty was taken to fill in gaps in her account, or if it's a faithful transcription of her original writings.
