Description
-
Drawing by Pherne Brown Pringle, the daughter of Tabitha Moffatt Brown, the 'Mother of Oregon.' This sketch features a view of the Continental Divide during her family's journey on the Oregon Trail. Copies of later drawings were accompanied in an album by journal entries of Pherne's husband, Virgil K. Pringle.
Virgil's journal indicates that their party passed the Continental Divide on July 15:
'Passed the divide about two miles from camp; travel twenty six miles over level country without water or grass; had a hard shower in the evening, and a light one yesterday; camp on the Sandy.'
