Oregon Emigrant Family Story of the Gages
A 1840s Oregon trek recounts Freeman and Fanny Gage with children Lucietta and Jett. After illness, a rattlesnake bite, and a panther attack, their kitten Silvy is lost to a wolf. The cougar is driven away and the kitten returned to the mother, while the family copes with hardship, river crossings, and frontier life in the Northwest Oregon forest.
