Where Wagons Could Go
Narcissa Whitman and her husband, Marcus, went to Oregon as missionaries in 1836, accompanied by the Reverend Henry Spalding and his wife, Eliza. It was, as Narcissa wrote, “an unheard of journey for females.” Narcissa Whitman kept a diary during the long trip from New York and continued to write about her rigorous and amazing life at the Protestant mission near present-day Walla Walla, Washington. Her words convey her complex humanity and devotion to the Christian conversion and welfare of the Indians. Clifford Drury sketches in the circumstances that, for the Whitmans, resulted in tragedy. Eliza Spalding, equally devout and also artistic, relates her experiences in a pioneering venture. Drury also includes the diary of Mary Augusta Dix Gray and a biographical sketch of Sarah Gilbert White Smith, later arrivals at the Whitman mission.
The Letters and Journals of Narcissa Whitman 1836-1847
Narcissa Whitman was a missionary in Oregon Country (present-day near Walla Walla, Washington), becoming one of the first white women west of the Rockies. However, she is best known for starting the Whitman Mission along the Oregon Trail, and for being massacred along with several others during the Whitman Massacre of 1847.
Mrs. Whitman's Letters: 1843~1847
The devoutly Christian Marcus and Narcissa Whitman left home and family to establish a mission in the far west territories. In 1836, Narcissa was the first woman of European descent to cross the Rocky Mountains. Narcissa was but 39 years old when she, her husband, and nine others were murdered at their mission near Walla Walla, Washington in 1847. These letters constitute some of the last letters she wrote to family back in New York. Included is a letter to her sister by one of the massacre survivors and is one of the earliest accounts of that horrible day. For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.
