Stout-hearted Seven: Orphaned on the Oregon Trail

De: Neta Lohnes Frazier

Narrado por: Roscoe Orman

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. There, the Sagers settled into an ordinary life...until the day of an Indian massacre. The bravery of the Stouthearted Seven will amaze today's young listeners.

Moving Telling

Got a lot of cleaning done, couldn't stop the story. Replayed the gripping parts to others in my family just so they, too, could appreciate the struggle of those pioneers traveling to Oregon, and the importance of family.

Stout hearted!

Very good read, can’t wait to reread the original book that my family was given by Katherine’s grand daughter.

Great story, loved learning the history

The narrator mis pronounced many names of the locations, which made it tough to listen to soccer we are local & know the correct pronunciation. I Loved the book anyway!

Absolutely Wonderful Book

Heart, soul, drama, history, truth...

Every American should hear this story.

A true epic. Can’t believe I had never heard of this story before!

Authentic and Real

Our ancestors were really brave. People today have technology and easy lives. Pretty weak compared to the things the settlers lived through and how resilient they were. Makes me proud of my great grandparents.
