Across the Plains in 1844 is a memoir by Catherine Sager Pringle, detailing her family's perilous journey on the Oregon Trail in 1844. After losing both parents to accidents and disease, Catherine and her siblings reached the Whitman Mission in Walla Walla, Washington, only to face further danger when the Cayuse tribe attacked in 1847, resulting in the massacre of the Whitmans.
