Now that I have read the books, I feel as if she was family. It was neat how Jane weaved bits of fact and fiction all into one story. I could not put them down either, and loved them. I look forward to learning more about Marie and her family. Great site you have here!!

Excellent book, searched and found this site which was also informative. Being from the area she started out from and loving history really made this book hard to put down and a must read. What remarkable stories the family will always carry down through the generations being Marie's ancestors. Always keep the memories going and know you are blessed through her love of family. It would be wonderful to travel in her footsteps. Just finished reading the series "The Tender Ties Historical Series". Excellent book, searched and found this site which was also informative.

She was my Third-Great-Grandmother so I love to see her story in print. As she was buried under the old St. Louis Church in Oregon's French Prairie it is a great place to visit if you are interested in her. There is a Dorion street next to the church social hall and many extended family members are in the pioneer cemetery behind the church. I enjoyed your article on Marie Dorion.

It has profiles on ten extraordinary early-day Oregon women. There is also a chapter on Marie Dorion in More than Petticoats: Remarkable Oregon Women by Gayle Shirley.

Believe me, I could not put those books down. What an amazing woman Marie Dorion is. The strength, andwill power this woman had, just left me in awe. My husband and I are planning our summer holidays now, and we are going to trace some of the places Marie Dorion has been. I am really excited about actually going where this remarkable lady had once been. I have read the Tender Ties Historical series ( about Marie Dorion)by Jane Kirkpatrick.

Salish territory is on the opposite side of the mountains on the island's southeast side.
