This is a great story of one of Oregon's pioneer women who lived in 1853 and crossed the prairies, mountains, and rivers to "arrive." Amanda became part of the Great California gold rush adventure. She eventually homesteaded in Oregon and raised a family of 15 children in the virtual wilderness - after being raised as an only child, and losing her own mother en route.
