    About this ebook

    The epic journey of the Sager children by covered wagon from Missouri to Oregon in 1848.

    “Father wanted us to go on to Oregon, and that’s where we’re going!”

    When the wagon train pulled out of Missouri in 1844, John Sager thought the trip West would be great fun.

    But now both his father and mother are dead. Young John is determined to lead his brother and five sisters a thousand miles through the wilderness to Oregon...braving hunger, thirst, and unknown danger—alone!

    Based on a true story, this is an inspiring saga of heroism and a family’s perseverance in the rugged Old West.

    • 5/5
      This became one of my favorite books when my 5th grade teacher read it to me.This is the true story of the Sager children who traveled the Oregon Trail alone. Young John Sager sets out on the trail as an irresponsible hoodlum and emerges as a great hero. This is a real tear jerker.
    • 4/5
      In 1844 a family of six children and two parents set out on the Oregon Trail. On the trail a seventh child was born . . . and both the parents died. A thousand miles from Oregon, the oldest of the seven children, John Sager age 13, was determined to keep the family together and fulfill his father's dream of farming in Oregon.This is the true story upon which On to Oregon!, a children's book published in 1926, is based. My copy was published under the title Seven Alone. While the style of writing is rather old-fashioned, and some comments about the native Americans encountered on the Trail make this book not really suitable for contemporary children, for the historically minded who can place such comments in their historical context it can still be a good, enjoyable read, with some tension around the children's chances for success.Those who prefer real history to fictionalized could try the memoir, Across the Plains in 1844, by Catherine Sager, one of the younger children.
