The Story of Marcus Whitman: Early Protestant Missions in the Northwest is a book written by J.G. Craighead. It tells the story of Marcus Whitman, a Protestant missionary who played a significant role in the early history of the American Northwest. The book provides a detailed account of Whitman’s life, from his early days in upstate New York to his journey westward to the Oregon Territory. Whitman and his wife, Narcissa, were among the first Protestant missionaries to travel to the Pacific Northwest in the mid-19th century. They established a mission at Waiilatpu, near present-day Walla Walla, Washington, and worked to convert the local Native American tribes to Christianity. The book also explores the complex relationships between the Whitmans and the Native Americans they sought to convert. It delves into the cultural differences and misunderstandings that often led to conflict between the two groups. In addition to its focus on Whitman and his missionary work, the book also provides a broader historical context for the early settlement of the Northwest. It covers topics such as the fur trade, the Oregon Trail, and the political tensions between the United States and Great Britain over control of the region. Overall, The Story of Marcus Whitman: Early Protestant Missions in the Northwest is a comprehensive and engaging account of one of the most important figures in the early history of the American Northwest. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of early Protestant missionaries, as well as the complex relationships between settlers and Native Americans during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
