Excerpt from A History of Indian Missions on the Pacific Coast: Oregon, Washington and Idaho It is a pleasant fact that the son of a missionary, born where his parents long taught the Indians by precept and example, now writes the story of the work and its results. It adds interest to the narrative that he dedicates it to that father, who yet continues to sow the "good seed of the word," and to gather its fruits. This history can be attested by living witnesses, and facts which are patent to many. The author's plan is to follow both the order of events and the logical relation of topics. As the subjects treated are intermingled with the entire history of the United States, the history of missions to the Indians of Oregon and Washington is intensely interesting. Its germs are found in the first ideas of God, given by the earliest explorers, Lewis and Clarke, and by hunters and trappers.
