Across The Plains In 1844

Description

Catherine Sager’s story is without doubt one of the most gripping firsthand accounts of life in the American west ever written. This enhanced version of her original manuscript adds explanatory notes, photos, maps, drawings, and 3d visualizations. The bonus material adds a layer of context to make Sager’s fascinating account even more vivid.

Catherine Sager faced almost not possible hardship: both her parents died at the journey west at the Oregon Trail; a couple of years later her adoptive parents were brutally murdered before her eyes. She was once even kidnapped and held for ransom. Yet Catherine was once a survivor, and she lived a long life in Oregon. Her accounts of life at the Oregon Trail and the Whitman Massacre remain necessary historical documents. On the same time, she is a superb author who knows engage the reader.
