<DIV>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.</DIV>

<DIV>Read her account of this and her trek across the Oregon Trail in 1844

<DIV>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.</DIV>
