Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Marcus Whitman, the Pathfinder of the Pacific Northwest and Martyred Missionary of Oregon
His unpretentious pamphlet on a great subject, is a lecture I have delivered many times in the State of Washington when presenting the claims of Whitman College. This will account for the colloquial style and lack of rhetorical finish. The effort has been to present the salient points as brief and comprehensive as possible. In the pre paration of it I have become intensely interested in the romantic history of the Pacific Northwest. And have been especially impressed with the important part which the early missionaries played in the wonderful drama. I am thoroughly convinced that the subject deserves careful and elaborate treatment by a competent mind, and it will doubtless have it. God willing. By Rev. Dr. Myron Eells. The Rev. J. E. Roy, D. D. Of Chicago, and others, have suggested that such a pamphlet as this. Widely distributed, would aid in promot ing the interests of Whitman College and if that end is accomplished the author will be abundantly rewarded.
