Minnow and Rose : an Oregon Trail story / Judy Young ; illustrated by Bill Farnsworth. 40 p.

Minnow, a young Indian girl, and Rose, a young pioneer girl, meet at the river’s edge as Rose’s wagon train prepares to cross. In the early 1880’s, Native Americans would help the wagon trains cross rivers; exchanging help for tools. When Rose falls into the river, Minnow saves her. Presents relationships between Native Americans and pioneers in a different light.
