GRIST: A Story of Life in Oregon Country, 1835-1854 (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Denied recognition and acceptance by the white people in Oregon Country, Margaret Jewett Bailey, the first novelist in the Northwest, faded in to oblivion after an attempt was made to destroy all copies of her books. Although whe and her husband William J. Bailey arrived in the mid-1830s and worked beside well-known historic figures as Jason Lee and John McLoughlin, today few know of the Baileys. Why? Their story is explosive.

In 1835, William arrived at the Methodist Mission with a long tomahawk gash in his face and later would avenge the attack: In 1837, Margaret was among the first seven white women to arrive by ship from eastern United States, and she quickly made enemies of the missionaries. But she made friends of the Kalapuyan Tribe. Their story presents surprising views of many historical figures from a perspective not usually seen.

Although a historical fiction, this book was written to show the accurate history of Oregon Country, 1835-1854.
