More DescriptionIn 1855, while Katharine Alva Taggart's mother was still pregnant with her first child, the family moved her to the free state of Kansas.

Orphaned, the young girl lived a varied life in the west, first living with a schoolteacher and her young son, and eventually making her own way.
