In 1838, two missionary couples, the Walkers and the Eellses,
joined the party going west as a reinforcement to the Oregon
Mission. Just married when the trip began, Mary Walker and Myra
Eells rode on horseback from Missouri to Oregon, keeping diaries
throughout the months on the hazardous trail. After spending a
winter at the Whitman mission in present-day Washington, the
Walkers and Eellses moved north to do missionary work among the
Spokane Indians.
Throughout "On to Oregon" the presence of Myra Fairbanks Eells
is deeply felt, but it is Mary Richardson Walker who will be
remembered for perhaps the richest diary we have from a woman
pioneering in the West.
