Murder at the Mission by Blaine Harden

Title: Murder at the Mission Author: Blaine Harden

Review: Following the story of the Whitman massacre that occurred here in the valley in the mid-nineteenth century, Blaine Harden dismantles the myths surrounding the lives of the Whitmans and their accomplishments, providing an important, but sobering account of how this one event was later tied to doctrines of Manifest Destiny and the taking of the American West. This title is a must-read; especially for those who live in the area and want to learn more about the real history of the Pacific Northwest.
