Who were the Mungers?
The Mungers and Griffins were independent missionaries
who traveled to the Oregon Country in 1839. The two couples hoped
to settle with a local tribe and become self-sufficient. After arriving
in the area, these missionaries realized that establishing an independent
mission would be much harder than they had envisioned. Mr. Munger
decided to work for Dr. Whitman as a carpenter. The Mungers stayed
at Waiilatpu until the spring of 1841.
