The Whitman mission
1836
Walla Walla County, Washington

Marcus and Narcissa Whitman came to convert the Cayuse and instead became a way station on the trail. A measles epidemic carried by emigrants killed perhaps half the Cayuse while the Whitmans' own patients recovered. In 1847 the Cayuse killed fourteen people at the mission, and the war that followed opened Oregon to territorial government.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
