[or-roots] Marcus Whitman and the Indians (from aunt Charlotte's book)

[Dan M]

Seems I remember some thing about my great grand father working on a farm , Whitman sounds close when the Indians walked across the field he was plowing and stole the plow horses, there was no mention if he was hurt ?

  Catherine Carney Sager Pringle was one of the girls taken hostage by the Indians during the Whitman massacre.  Her two young brothers, John and Francisco Sager, were killed by the Indians at the Whitman Mission.  Catherine was released after a couple of days.

  Read her account of this and her trek across the Oregon Trail in 1844 at:

  Catherine gained a sister, and lost both parents along the trail from Missouri to Oregon.  The 7 Sager children ( 5 girls and 2 boys), were taken in by the Whitmans.
