The Oregon Missions, the Story of How the Line Was Run Between, Canada and the United States (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Hook line: A clear look at how early missionaries and frontier settlers moved Oregon toward settlement and change.
This book examines the early efforts of American and Catholic missions in the Willamette Valley and beyond, from Waiilatpu to Lapwai and into The Dalles country. It shows how volunteers, teachers, and medical workers joined farmers and clergy to build schools, churches, and communities while facing harsh disease, isolation, and cultural collision. The narrative follows the rise of leaders like Jason Lee and Marcus Whitman, the arrival of women and artisans, and the ongoing tug-of-war with competing interests from the Hudson’s Bay Company and other groups.
Readers will see how mission work tried to transform Indian life through faith and practical labor, the struggles with high child mortality, and the pressure to create a sustainable future in a rapidly changing region. The text highlights the sequence of missionary groups, the importance of family life, and the broader context of American settlement on the Pacific Coast.
- How missions started, grew, and faced daunting health and cultural challenges among Native peoples.
- The roles of key figures, families, and the first women to cross the Rocky Mountains and settle on the coast.
- Interactions with the Hudson’s Bay Company and competing efforts to shape the region’s future.
- Timeline of groups, stations, and milestones that framed Oregon’s early history.
Ideal for readers of Oregon history, frontier religion, and the complex story of early American expansion.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the ongoing efforts to establish a boundary line between Canada and the United States from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. The efforts to determine this boundary line began in the early 19th century and were driven by the westward expansion of the United States and the presence of British fur trappers and traders in the region. Many groups had a stake in the outcome, including American settlers, British fur companies, Native American tribes, and the governments of the United States and Great Britain. Some of the key actors in this drama included Jason Lee, a Methodist missionary, and Dr. John McLoughlin, the chief factor of the Hudson's Bay Company. Through extensive research in primary sources, the author uncovers the complex motivations and actions of these individuals and groups and reveals how their interactions shaped the ultimate outcome of the boundary dispute.
