Abstract

Young Jesse and his family are with a wagon train traveling from Indiana to Oregon when they stop to celebrate the Fourth of July, but Jesse is too young to go hunting with the men, so he comes up with his own contribution to the festivities. "Based on an account of a July 4th celebration along the Oregon Trail in 1852, as recalled in the Diary of E.W. Conyers...".
