Stout-hearted Seven: Orphaned on the Oregon Trail

By: Neta Lohnes Frazier

Narrated by: 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.

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.

tearful and truthful

full of accurate historical detail. me, my husband, and both of our older daughters cried many times during this narrative. gave us a deep appreciation for what pioneers of the time endured.

Stout hearted!

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