An Inspiring Story of Family Courage
This book presents the true and courageous adventures of seven children orphaned on the Oregon Trail.
With great excitement, the Sager family packed their most important goods into a covered wagon and joined hundreds of others for the journey west in the spring of 1844. However, dreams of a better life would not come true for them, as both parents died and were buried along the trail.
Could the children make it to Oregon? And if they did, would they be able to stay together as a family?
Follow the children on their way as they brave starvation, disease, cold, crippling accidents, and finally, an Indian massacre.
About the Landmark series:
For over half a century, Landmark books have been an important part of home libraries. Jam-packed with exciting stories and adventures, the Landmark series is known as the first historical series for kids. Teaching parents continue to trust the Landmark name to engage their children with accurate information on well-known people and interesting periods in American history.

Extremely popular in the 1950s and 1960s, while these are all secular titles the fact that they were written as many as fifty years ago ensures their wholesomeness, as much as any book pertaining to the lives of mortal men can be wholesome.
