Madame Dorion: Her Journey to the Oregon Country is an historical novel of the first woman to come across the country overland, stay, and help settle the land. Whereas Sacagawea was the first (known) woman to come overland, she did not stay. Marie Dorion stayed, and raised her children in the Oregon Country.

Written as a journal, Madame Dorion: Her Journey to the Oregon Country is suitable for readers of any age. Ms. Good’s research included many books (listed in the back of the book) including journals of Wilson Price Hunt and other men who made the trip. The dates and facts correlate to those journals, but show the trip through the eyes of an amazing woman, mother, and wife.

Lenora Good was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. Her maternal grandfather, a history buff, instilled in her at an early age a love of history, of Native Americans (she is part Catawba), and the opening of the Oregon Country.

Please note, the cover art is by a descendant of Madame Marie Dorion, Leah Marie Dorion. More of her marvelous art may be found on her website.

Madame Dorion: Her Journey to the Oregon Country is available through your favorite bookseller or Amazon in either softback or electronic versions.
