Here is the story of the Whitmans-Marcus and Narcissa-who played prominent roles in the history of Old Oregon during those critical years, 1836-47. The Whitmans and the Rev, and Mrs. Henry H. Spalding, all residents of New York State, were sent in 1836 to the Pacific Northwest as appointees of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions to evangelize the natives. The Whitmans settled among the Cayuse Indians near present-day Walla Walla, Washington, and the Spaldings among the Nez Perces near what is now Lewiston, Idaho.
