About this book
Whitman Mission National Historic Site is historical handbook number 37 by Erwin N. Thompson, published in Washington, D.C., in 1964. The handbook says a 4-man delegation visited William Clark, superintendent of Indian Affairs, in St. Louis, and that Clark had passed through their country more than 25 years earlier as one of the co-leaders of the memorable Lewis and Clark Expedition. A man named William Walker, visiting St. Louis in November 1832, heard from William Clark the story of the Indian visitors.
A second, more efficient mill let Whitman produce enough flour to supply the other stations and to sell to the emigrants of 1842. A caption says that among the thousands of artifacts discovered were two buckles that might have been used for harnesses or belts. A second caption says that a fine-tooth comb was a useful everyday object found in the ruins, and that the missionaries had to be constantly on the watch for lice, especially in their children’s hair.
