A thousand miles from Oregon, the oldest of the seven children, John Sager age 13, was determined to keep the family together and fulfill his father's dream of farming in Oregon.

This is the true story upon which On to Oregon!, a children's book published in 1926, is based. My copy was published under the title Seven Alone.

The Last Full Measure Tekijä: Honore Morrow

180. The Last Full Measure, by Honore W. Morrow (read 6 Mar 1945) I finished reading this book on March 6, 1945 and said of it: "Finished H. W. Morrow's novel on Lincoln's last six months. I didn't enjoy it. If I had read it when I read his Forever Free I'd have enjoyed it but not now." It is the third volume of the author's trilogy on Lincoln and the Civil War. The earlier volumes are With Malice Toward None and Forever Free, which I read back in 1939
