Time Travel to Mid-Nineteen Century Oregon

Robert Newell and Joseph Meek were always ready to tell humorous stories of their fur trapping days and to share lighthearted quotes from Shakespeare, even though this was a time of horrible events – the Whitman Massacre, Cayuse Wars, and the Mexican War. These two men struggled with these problems while working to build Oregon Country into a functioning part of the union with laws, courts, and a newspaper called The Oregon Spectator. When they crossed paths with Chief Joseph of the Nez Percé tribe and a number of the Black pioneers of Oregon, it became apparent that, unlike many of the newcomers arriving on wagon trains, Newell and Meek wanted Oregon to be a home available to all.

Then a baffling situation occurred that was unlike anything these fearless mountain men had ever encountered – a woman arrived from 2003.
