Title: Grist
Subtitle: A Story of Life in Oregon Country, 1835-1854
Author: RC Marlen
Narrator: Andrew Dawson
Format: Unabridged
Length: 13 hrs and 41 mins
Language: English
Release date: 10-15-15
Publisher: Rosalie Marlen Schele
Genres: Fiction, Historical
Publisher's Summary:
Denied recognition and acceptance by the white people in Oregon Country, Margaret Jewett Bailey, the first novelist of the Northwest, faded into oblivion after an attempt was made to destroy all copies of her novel. Although she and her husband William J. Bailey arrived in the mid-1830s and worked beside well-known historic figures as Jason Lee and John McLoughlin, today few know of the Baileys. Why? Their story is explosive.
In 1835, William arrived at the Methodist Mission with a long tomahawk gash in his face and later would avenge the attack; in 1837, Margaret was among the first seven white women to arrive by ship from eastern United States, and she quickly made enemies of the missionaries but friends of the Kalapuyan Tribe. Their story presents surprising views of historical figures and events from a perspective not usually seen.
Although the dialogue and one fictional family are creations of the author RC Marlen, events in this exciting novel were written to show the accurate history of Oregon Country, 1835-1854.

Great book about Oregon Country
This is a great book. This is about three different stories of settlers in the Willamette Valley, pre-Oregon Trail.
William Bailey, an early fur-trapper, with an extensive education, who becomes a physician in Oregon Country.
Margaret Jewitt Smith Bailey, a missionary, who is a fascinating personality. You both love and hate her. She was judged by the morals of the time, and has many strengths and weaknesses.
Sawalha, an Indian woman, who is an amazing person, with an ongoing legacy.
Great book. I did the audio version, and enjoyed it immensely.
Excellent Read
This author is wonderful,I like how she tells the story as if your listening to the story teller. She makes you feel as if you are right there in the story.
