The Sager orphans (sometimes referred to as the Sager children) were the children of Henry and Naomi Sager. In April 1844 the Sager family took part in the great westward migration and started their journey along the Oregon Trail. During it, both Henry and Naomi died and left their seven children orphaned. Later adopted by Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, missionaries in what is now Washington, they were orphaned a second time, when both their new parents, as well as brothers John and Francis Sager, were killed during the Whitman massacre in November 1847. About 1860 Catherine, the oldest daughter, wrote a first-hand account of their journey across the plains and their life with the Whitmans. Today it is regarded as one of the most authentic accounts of the American westward migration.

  • Bei den Sager-Waisen (Sager Orphans, Sager Children) handelt es sich um die insgesamt sieben leiblichen Kinder von Naomi und Henry (Heinrich) Sager. Die Familie brach im April 1844 mit einem Siedlertreck nach Oregon auf, um ein besseres Leben im damals noch weitgehend unerschlossenen Westen der heutigen Vereinigten Staaten zu beginnen. Die Reise entlang des Oregon Trail kostete sowohl Naomi als auch Henry Sager das Leben und ließ die sieben Kinder im Alter zwischen 4 Monaten und 13 Jahren als Waisen zurück. Dieser und eine Reihe weiterer Schicksalsschläge machten die Sager-Waisen zu einem Synonym für die Strapazen und Leiden der amerikanischen Siedler. (de)
