*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Embark on an unforgettable journey into the heart of the American West with the Sager family, pioneers who braved the infamous Oregon Trail. In the face of tragedy, Henry and Naomi Sager's seven children found themselves orphaned not once, but twice—first on the treacherous trail, and later under the care of Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, courageous missionaries in the untamed lands of what is now Washington. The gripping tale of survival unfolds through the eyes of Catherine, the eldest daughter, who penned a poignant first-hand account in 1860. Uncover the harsh realities of the plains, the challenges of a new life with the Whitmans, and the harrowing events of the infamous Whitman massacre in November 1847. Catherine's narrative, a timeless testament to the spirit of the American westward migration, stands as one of the most authentic and captivating stories of this pivotal era in our nation's history.
