Six Women West: Oregon Trail 1861

Martha's future seems secure at her parent's Virginia horse farm until the Confederate army imposters raid their farm and steal their horses. Later that very day, the North and South fire upon their home. Some called it Bull Run and others called it Manassas. We called a slaughter. This turned Martha's world upside down. After the second tragedy, Martha decides to follow her "Pa" dream of going west to Oregon. One by one, other women join her---women full of pluck and spirit as well as kindness and compassion in spite of their own difficult stories. There's never a dull moment along the trail as they overcome hardships together and show that they are far more capable than some of the men on the Wagon Train.
