MISSIONARIES AND A COUPLE OF RELATED FILES (CASSANDRA TATE):

CYBERPEDIAS

Marcus Whitman (1802-1847) — missionary and physician; founder of the Whitman Mission near Walla Walla in 1836; shifted the focus of the mission away from the salvation of Indians souls to promotion of American settlement in Oregon Country in order to “save” it as a territory of the United States; killed by Indians in 1847.

Narcissa Whitman (1808-1847) — Wife of Marcus Whitman; one of the first two white women to cross the Rocky Mountains into present day Washington. The only woman killed by Indians during the “Whitman Massacre” of 1847.

John McLoughlin (1784-1857) — chief factor of the Hudson’s Bay Company’s Columbia District – covering the present-day states of Washington, Idaho, and Oregon; headquartered at Fort Vancouver – from 1824 to 1846; provided critical help to the missionaries and to the American settlers who came after them; had most of his personal holdings confiscated by an ungrateful nation after the Canadian/U.S. boundary treaty of 1846; died nearly penniless; later deified as the “Father of Oregon.”
Cayuse Indians — once prominent tribe in what is now southeastern Washington, known for horse breeding and horsemanship, decimated by measles brought in by white settlers; attacked the Whitman mission in what became known as the Whitman Massacre in 1847; hunted and harassed by militia until five members of the tribe surrendered to U.S. authorities and were hanged in retribution for the Whitman attack; now part of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation.
MISSIONARY TIMELINES
February 18, 1836 — Marcus Whitman marries Narcissa Prentiss. The next day, the couple begin their journey, with Henry and Eliza Spalding, to the west.

August 29, 1838 — Four missionary couples, dispatched by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions as reinforcements for the Oregon Mission, arrive at Waiilatpu, a mission near present-day Walla Walla, established by Marcus and Narcissa Whitman two years earlier. One of the couples will join the Spaldings at Lapwai; the others will establish missions near Spokane and Kamiah, Idaho.

June 23, 1839 — Two-year-old Alice Clarissa Whitman, the first child born of American parents in what is now Washington state, drowns in the Walla Walla River behind the Whitman mission at Waiilatpu. In her grief, Narcissa Whitman withdraws from virtually all interaction with the Cayuse Indians, a factor that contributes to her own death six years later.

October 3, 1842 — Responding to a letter from the American Board of Commissioners of Foreign Missions, ordering that the missions at Waiilatpu and Lapwai be closed (because of continuing dissension among the missionaries), Whitman leaves Waiilatpu on a journey East to convince the Board to change its mind.

September 1843 — Having convinced the board to rescind its order closing the mission, Whitman helps guide a wagon train of about a thousand people to Oregon Country, in the beginning of what becomes known as the Great Migration. An advance party from the emigrant train reaches Waiilatpu a few days before Whitman and the main party arrive, on September 28. Whitman is perturbed to discover that the early arrivals had broken into the mission house and then left it open to the Indians. Nonetheless, this marks a turning point in the focus of the mission, from efforts to “civilize” and Christianize the Indians to providing aid and support for emigrants.

November 29, 1897 — Beginning of a three-day commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Whitman massacre. Events include the unveiling of an obelisk, dedication of a mausoleum, and many speeches, including remarks by two survivors of the attack (Catherine Sager Pringle, who delivered “a pathetic address that moved many to tears” and Matilda Jane Sager Delaney, then 58, described as “now very feeble but possessed of a very clear memory”).

OTHER MISSIONARY-RELATED FILES (not yet assigned):

Cushing Eells (1810-1893) — missionary and founder of Whitman College; and his wife,

Myra Eells (1805-1878) — Members of the “reinforcements” sent to the Oregon Mission by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) in 1838.

Myron Eells (1843-1907) — son of Cushing and Myra, missionary, scholar, and collector

William H. Gray (1810-1881) — a lay member of the original Whitman Mission; accompanied the Whitmans and the Spaldings on their journey west in 1836; in later life wrote a history of Oregon.

Henry H. Spalding (1803-1874) and Eliza Spalding (1807-1851) — missionaries and educators: co-founders of the ABCFM’s Oregon Mission in 1836. Chose not to stay with the Whitmans at Walla Walla but to establish a separate mission station at Lapwai, among the Nez Perce.

Elkanah Walker (1805-1872) — missionary; member of the reinforcement party of 1838.

Other Timelines:

4. SPOKANE COUNTY LIST (Jim Kershner, Laura Arksey, Margaret, Priscilla, [Steve Emerson])

Kalispel/Northeast Washington suite:
Two essay sets (cyberpedia and timeline) on each of the following subjects:
A history of the Kalispel Tribe.
A history of Chief Masselow, the Kalispel’s most important chief.
A history of Cusick, town near Kalispel Reservation along the Pend Oreille River.
A history of Ione, a town in the same area.
A history of Usk, a town in the same area. (With possibly a history of Boundary Dam substituted for any of the above towns).
Power-development suite: Two essay sets (cyberpedia and timeline) on the following:
A history of Washington Water Power, the major power company in Spokane and the region, founded in 1889 and now known as Avista. This company has a rich history, since it owned not only dams and electricity but also Spokane’s streetcar system and the region’s biggest amusement park, Natatorium Park.

A history of Nine Mile Dam, one of the first dams on the Spokane River, built in 1910.

Other WWP dams (see below).
.
General Spokane history pieces:

A history of the Italian community in Spokane. Many Italians arrived around 1900-1910 to work in the rail yards. They began as strike-breakers, in many cases, but soon became an important and influential part of the city.

A history of the City of Spokane Valley. This is city ranks No. 10 in the state in population and is a glaring omission on our Cities and Towns suite.

The assassination of Spokane’s police chief John T. Sullivan in 1909. He was shot while sitting at the window of his house reading the paper. It’s a great story, which involves the Wobblies (he was the man who harshly put down the Wobbly Free Speech protests a year earlier). It’s also a great unsolved mystery story (nobody was ever prosecuted – but we can now say with fair confidence who did it).

A history of Fort George Wright in Spokane. This military base (now decommissioned and the site of a community college and a Japanese exchange college) was the home to thousands of black troops at the beginning of the 1900s, including those known previously as the Buffalo Soldiers. It also played roles in WWI and WWII – Clark Gable was stationed there briefly. A very rich subject, which could easily be divided into at least two or three pieces.
