  Whitman Massacre
Although Marcus and Narcissa were no better or worse prepared than any other missionary at the time, their own unique set of personalities, and interpersonal and intercultural skills or lack thereof, weaknesses and attitudes would inevitably lead them to the day of the massacre.
Narcissa, who was getting milk for children in her care who were still sick with measles, found that a group of Indians had entered the kitchen of the house.
Narcissa, although filled with fear, with the help of another woman who had rushed to the house when the shooting began, moved her husband to the sitting room where she tried to stop the bleeding.

Roberts said without the exemption, corporate poultry producers in the state would be required to have no more than 10 shareholders and derive no more than 35 percent of their gross receipts from poultry operations.

To give the necessary structure to the description below, I have chosen to call the route from St Louis to El Paso the main line, and all the other routes branches.
This is an arbitrary decision on my part -- I chose these cities since they are the northeasternmost and southwesternmost points in a system generally oriented northeast-to-southwest -- and so if any information about primary and secondary branches of the Ozark Trails is available, I would like to know about it.
