Story4.5 out of 5 stars 46
Based on a true story originally written by one of the survivors, Neta Lohnes Frazier's account of seven children traveling westward still has the power to astonish. In the 1840s, the Sager family set off on the Oregon Trail, a dangerous and adventure-filled journey. Tragedy struck when both the mother and father succumbed to fever, orphaning the youngsters - one just a newborn. The entire wagon train adopted them, until they arrived at the Whitman Mission in Oregon.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
It would've been fantastic if the performance included the correct pronunciation of Oregon and Willamette Valley. As a teacher in Oregon, very frustrating to play for my students to hear the awkwardness over and over again.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Correct pronunciation of Oregon.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
