Chapter XXIX
COUNTER CURRENTS Woman is like the reed that bends to every breeze, but breaks not in the tempest.--_Bishop Richard Whately_. The Oregon immigration for 1845 numbered, according to some accounts, not less than three thousand souls. Our people still rolled westward in a mighty wave. The history of that great west-bound movement is well known. The story of a yet more decisive journey of that same year never has been written--that of Helena von Ritz, from Oregon to the east.
