Marie Dorion Found Her Husband Dead In The Snow — Then Crossed 250 Miles Of Frozen Wilderness With Her Two Children
They had lost their father in January.
They had spent three months in the Blue Mountains.
They had reached the Columbia River with their mother.
And when they saw the canoes, they knew what to do.

Marie had kept them alive.
She had kept them functional.
She had kept them connected to the world of the fur trade that was the only context in which rescue was possible.
