Sager Delaney is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative offers a personal perspective on the tragic events surrounding the 1847 massacre at Waillatpu, detailing the experiences of a young survivor and her family. The author provides vivid recollections of her life as a child crossing the plains to the Oregon Territory and the subsequent impact of the massacre on her family and community. The opening of the book sets the stage for the author's journey, beginning in 1844 when her family decides to leave Missouri for Oregon, motivated by the promise of new opportunities. Matilda recounts the hardships faced during the perilous journey, including the death of her parents and the care extended by Dr. and Mrs. Whitman, who took in orphans, including her and her siblings. The story transitions into their life at the Whitman mission, where she describes the strict, disciplined home environment established by the Whitmans and her memories of daily life, interactions with local Native Americans, and the build-up to the tragic events of November 29, 1847. This poignant retelling not only serves as a historical document but also emphasizes themes of resilience and survival in the face of unimaginable adversity.
