Catherine Sager does a good job with her journal of the families trip across to Oregon and the Whitman Mission.  Such a tragic trip for this family who lost, mother, father, and then siblings in the Massacre at the Whitman Mission.  The Cayuse Indians had an uprising against the Whitman's when measles were brought in to them from pioneers coming into the Mission.Although she skims over the trip west, this book is mostly about their time at the Mission and the end results of the Indians revenge on the Mission folks.  A good read would be On To Oregon which tells the story of the Sagers trip to Walla Walla.
