A MISSOURI HEROINE IN OREGON

A MISSOURI HEROINE IN OREGON
The accounts received some time ago from
the Indian war in Oregon mentioned the
heroic defence of herself and child, by a
Mrs. Harris, against the Indians, after her
husband had been slain. Her husband
was killed by the first fire Of the Indians,
and Mrs. Harris, with her daughter, who,
also, was severely wounded, undismayed
by the fearful odds against them, barred
the doors of their cabin, and, loading and
firing their guns, in sight Of the husband
and fathers weltsrine ""-r~~, so~ohs the
savages for eigh. hours, when they were
relieved by the arrival Of a friendly party.
She killed several of the red devils, and
kept up such hot fire on :he rest as to
prevent them from approaching near
enough to set the cabin on fire, which they
repeatedly attempted to DO.
This heroic woman was the daughter Of
James Young, an old settler Of Lafayette
county, Missouri, whence she moved, with
her husband, to Oregon in 1852. Such a
heroine deserves all the honor that can be
awarded to her, and Congress should grant
her handsome pension for life.-.S.
