[or-roots] Into The Eye Of The Setting Sun chapter 10

[Cecil Houk]

This is about Aunt Charlotte who crossed the Oregon trail in 1843 (at the age of 5), with the same group that my gg grandfather was with.  Make sure you go the the second page "Good Night" to see the wonderful photo that Rachel took on our 7150 mile trip in August, 2000.  We're on our way home, and driving into the eye of the setting sun!

from the introduction

           Charlotte Matheny Kirkwood was a wonderfully remarkable woman.  She was a 
     student of the nature of man and his surroundings even at the age of five, when she and 
     her family set out across the plains "into the eye of the setting sun", as her father, 
     Daniel, described it to her.
