THE COVER

Symbolical sketch of Dr. and Mrs. Marcus Whitman approaching Waiilatpu, the scene of their mission endeavors among the Cayuse Indians, 1836-1847. The background scenes portray various aspects in the history of the mission—buildings, religious instruction and teaching, domestic life, and agriculture. (Drawing by Cecil J. Doty, Architect, National Park Service.)


The Whitman Mission site today. Looking southeast, the trees in right center are on the site of the "Mission House." The dikes of the millpond are to the right of the horses in left center.
