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.
Two missionaries set up elaborate programs in the Oregon Territory to teach "white" Christian ways to the local Cayuse and Nez Perce tribes and to provide them with a medical outreach program. As a result, there is violent tribal resistance to the work of the missionaries.
The classic history of women on America's frontiers, now updated and thoroughly revised. FRONTIER WOMEN is an imaginative and graceful account of the extraordinarily diverse contributions of women to the development of the American frontier. Author Julie Roy Jeffrey has expanded her original analysis to include the perspectives of African American and Native American women.
The 22-book American Milestone series is featured as "Retailers Recommended Fabulous Products" in the August 2012 edition of Educational Dealer magazine. Just imagine-riding for six months in a wagon, choking on dust, sweating in searing heat, crossing raging rivers, fighting off disease and Indians-the life of a pioneer on the Oregon Trail. Beginning in the 1840s, thousands of Americans took the risk... and lumbered across this seemingly endless trail to a life of promise in the west. This book includes: • What's in That Wagon? • Manifest Destiny • Perils Along the Trail • Into the Unknown • Who Were Those Pioneers • Bountiful Buffalo • Hands-on Activities • Reproducible Activities • Glossary • Fascinating Facts • Timeline • And Lots More! Students can learn much from the compelling story of the overland pioneers who let nothing, and no one - including daunting Mother Nature, a vast, untamed wilderness, and hostilities of all kinds - stand in the way of their dreams and determination. Climb on up in your wagon and "bump along" in this fun, factual and "Wow-that's amazing" book!
