Marie Dorion Found Her Husband Dead In The Snow — Then Crossed 250 Miles Of Frozen Wilderness With Her Two Children
She had outlasted the international ambiguity over the Oregon Country, which was resolved by the treaty of 1846.
She had outlasted most of the people who knew her story firsthand.
What she left behind was the documented record of what she had done: a journey that is confirmed by the NPS, by the Oregon Encyclopedia, by the available primary sources, and by the basic geography and chronology of the period.
The documentation is sparse.
The achievement it documents is not.
The winter of 1814 produced one of the most extraordinary individual survival stories in the documented history of North American exploration.
