LEGACY: The Oregon Pioneers

How is legacy defined beyond the confines of a dictionary? Can an inheritance, not of property or wealth, but of character, strength, and resilience be passed down by even long-gone ancestors? Through the sepia lens of the Oregon Trail and her pioneer ancestors, author Sandra Silva examines the events and circumstances that sometimes lead to great human achievement and highlights the cost of such endeavors. From her earliest years, Sally Winn demonstrates uncommon determination and courage in the face of challenge and calamity. A life-altering encounter with evil takes Sally from innocent childhood to near death. She is married at age 14 and a widow with three children at age 24. A chance meeting with widower William Ingram and his four children results in the union of their families. Their determination and commitment as they establish their home in northwest Arkansas, and later, throughout the perilous 2,000-mile odyssey of the Oregon Trail, is a testament to the legacy bequeathed to them by their fore-bearers, and in turn, the legacy they leave to their own descendants.
