On to Oregon Zusammenfassung

On to Oregon: The Diaries of Mary Walker and Myra Eells Clifford Merrill Drury

In 1838, two missionary couples, the Walkers and the Eellses, joined the party going west as a reinforcement to the Oregon Mission. Just married when the trip began, Mary Walker and Myra Eells rode on horseback from Missouri to Oregon, keeping diaries throughout the months on the hazardous trail. After spending a winter at the Whitman mission in present-day Washington, the Walkers and Eellses moved north to do missionary work among the Spokane Indians.

Throughout On to Oregon the presence of Myra Fairbanks Eells is deeply felt, but it is Mary Richardson Walker who will be remembered for perhaps the richest diary we have from a woman pioneering in the West.

On to Oregon Bewertungen

By the skillful merging of the diaries, letters, and biographical data, . . . Drury admirably attains his purpose of presenting an epic story of great Christian devotion on the Pacific Northwest frontier. An exceedingly important contribution to Pacific Northwest history.-American Historical Review
Magnificent in its conception, scholarly in its presentation, and pleasing in its appearance.-Missouri Valley Historical Review
