On to Oregon!

"It was a childish, foolish sort of plot. Everything was against its success except that in a country so wild as this all nature plotted with John to confuse and outwit the grown people. A wind-storm rose with the sun and blew the sand over the children's tracks..."---from On to Oregon! In 1844, the Oregon Trail was really no trail at all. The way led over mountains of broken rock, across boiling rivers, or along some hideous precipice where there was no trace of the previous passing and each wagon shifted for itself. On August 20 of that year, Henry Sager, aged 38, died of dysentery. Just eleven days later, Naomi Sager died, aged 32, on that terrible trail. That left John head of the family. He was the eldest at 13; the youngest, his sister Ann, was just 6 weeks old. So it was his decision. Should he let his family be broken up or should he head on in the direction his mother and father had originally intended---on to Oregon?
