'Wagons West' Series, Part 1 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Sam Brentwood and Whip Holt

Sam Brentwood and Whip Holt came to the home of Otto and Cathy van Ayl on Long Island, NY because that is where the wagon train to the Oregon territory begins. They will become the wagonmasters, Sam leading them to Independence, Missouri, and Whip leading them the rest of the way.

Answer: Michael

Whip Holt's real first name is Michael, but he is nicknamed "Whip" because he always carries a bullwhip wrapped around his waist, and will not hesitate to use it. He is no amateur with it, either...

Answer: Whip

She begins to like Whip. Even though she was married to Otto, he was much older than her, and she never loved him, anyway. Her father arranged the marriage because he had lots of money and he would supposedly take care of her.

Answer: Sam

Claudia, Cathy's sister, marries Sam Brentwood in Independence, Missouri, and settles down to live with him there, running a depot for all future wagon trains heading west.

Answer: true

Otto van Ayl dies in an Indian attack before they reach Independence, Missouri. Although Cathy is sad, she is secretly glad of her freedom to date other men and lead the life she wants.

Answer: Lee Blake

Cathy eventually marries Lee Blake, a U.S. Army officer who joins the wagon train. She was in love with Whip, but when Whip's Native American ex-girlfriend shows up, she turns away from him. Lee, on the other hand, gets hurt in a duel with an Indian, and she falls in love with him while taking care of him. Whip eventually marries Eulalia Woodling, a southern belle who joined the wagon train in Independence, Missouri.

Answer: Russia

Tonie Mell, who eventually marries Dr. Robert Martin, is from Russia. She moved to the United States with her aunt and uncle when she was just a baby. Russian agents blackmail her into spying on the wagon train for them, or her parents will be sent to Siberia.

She decides not to be a Russian secret agent, and since she never knew her parents anyway, she is not too sad. We find out later that they were dead by that time, anyway.

Answer: Cindy

Cindy, a former prostitute from Louisville, Kentucky, joins the wagon train in order to make a new, better life for herself in Oregon. She eventually marries Claiborne Woodling, Eulalia's brother.

Answer: Chet

Chet Harris is the oldest of Emily Harris's four children. She and her family joined the wagon train after her husband died, and she eventually marries Baron Ernst von Thalman so her children will have a fatherly figure to look up to.

Answer: Fort Vancouver

Fort Vancouver, a British fort, was the only sign of civilization around in Oregon. The reason the wagon train went to Oregon anyway was to claim Oregon for the United States, because the U.S. and Great Britain had joint ownership of the territory. Oregon became a state in 1859.

Answer: Beth

Lee and Cathy have one daughter, Beth, who is somewhat spoiled.
