Emigrant Document


April 18, 1846
Pa came home with this document today. Boy, that is a long way to get to Oregon. Pa says we leave tomorrow. I told Pepper that I am terrified of Indians. She told me not to worry that there are most likely more good Indians than bad Indians. Aunt June also told me that Narcissa Whitman and her husband Dr. Marcus Whitman have founded a mission in Walla Walla to help the Cayuse Indians. Aunt June says that Narcissa hasn't had any trouble with them yet. I am excited to get started and reach our new home in Oregon.
The End
Hattie
