How Marcus Whitman Saved Oregon

How Marcus Whitman Saved Oregon is an 1895 book by Oliver Woodson Nixon (1825-1905), the American journalist and editor. It promotes the once-popular but later-disputed legend that the missionary Marcus Whitman’s famous winter ride east in 1842-43 saved the Oregon country for the United States. The book is a primary document of the Whitman-saved-Oregon myth and its place in American frontier memory. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
