Close to
Just seven miles south of Walla Walla, Washington
travelers on U.S. Highway 12 will see a large brown sign
which reads "Whitman Mission. Natural Historic Site."
Turning past the sign and perhaps a half mile east, one will
find a small unobtrusive building surrounded by neatly
trimmed lawn ana a carefufly tended parklike setting. One
will even rind the millpond filled with hungry ducks and
plenty of tables for a picnic.
It was here in this parklike setting that a place called "the
mission at Waiilatpu,"(as the mission was once called) was
established in 1836 by a young doctor and his bride, Marcus
and Narcissa Whitman.
Waiilatpu meant "place of the people of the rye grass" and
originally was in the territory of the Cayuse Indians.
As emigrants began moving across the plains into the
Pacific Northwest during the 1840's, the mission at Waiilatpu
also became an important station on the Oregon Trail.
An early exploration trip by Dr. Whitman and the Rev.
Samuel Parker in 1835 helped to select mission sites in the
Oregon country.
In February of 1836 Marcus and Narcissa Whitman were
married and soon afterward they and Henry and Eliza
Spalding, with William Gray, headed westward in covered
wagons.
What made this journal a notable one was that Narcissa
Whitman and Eliza Spalding were the first white women to
cross the continent overland. Their successful trek soon

Inspired others to follow.
The two women quickly became Rood friends, nllhounh
they were reportedly opposites in personality. Narcissa was
said to be a pretty blonde who wits playful and hubbley,
which miiiht explain why Henry Spalding had once fallen in
love with her and proposed marriage. Klia was known as n
small quiet brunette, extremely devout in her religion.
The party of five reached the Columbia River on Sept. 1.
1836 where they were to select their mission stations at Fort
Vancouver,
The Whitmans settled anions the Cayuse at Waiilatpu and
the Spaldings opened their mission amontf the No. Perce at
Lapwaii, 110 miles east.
The two couples learned the Indian languages and devised
an alphabet. Spalding printed books in Nez Perce and
Spokan on a press brought to Lapwal in IBM.
The visitor, center located near the mission site of
Waiilatpu contains examples of Spalding's printwork and a
book of Matthew written in Nez Perce.
Marcus Whitman also attempted to teach the Cayuse how
to farm, but with little success. The Cayuse were a nomadic
Indian.
As the Waiilatpu mission slowly expanded along the Walla
Walla River. Marcus constructed a larger mission house, a
gristmill, sawmill, and a blacksmith shop. He built homes
for his family as they became more established. One of the
houses later served as an "emigrant house'1 for weary
travelers passing through.
Soon the mission became a regular stopping point for
wagons traveling on the Oregon Trail
It was one of these wagons which brought seven Sager
children in 184-1 who were orphaned during their trek
eastward.
Marcus and Narcissa Whitman took the children into their
family gladly, for they were still feeling the loss or their only
child, a daughter who had drowned a few years before,

Currency reproductions
donated to museum
BY JUSTINE
WKATIIKRFOKD
Fourteen antiquated repro
ductions of historical colonial
and revolutionary currency
were added to the large
collection of coina and curren
cy in the Morrow County
Museum recently.
Persons interested in money
(who isn't) can learn much
from the many coins and bills
contributed through the years
to the museum's display. The
most recent contribution,
fourteen small paper bills, all
look and feel old but are
careful reproductions which I
bought at Williamsburg, Vir
ginia, and contributed to the
county museum with the
thought that school children
and other students of history
could learn from them.
The shortage of coins In
Colonial America seriously
hindered the conduct of busi
ness. Few British coins reach
ed the colonies, but colonial
shipmasters brought In var
ious foreign monies. The most
common money in circulation
in early America was the
Spanish milled dollar. Its
value varied from colony to
colony.
To overcome this serious
handicap to business, paper
money was issued by the
individual colonies. (Kid
denominations were frequent
ly printed because of the lack
of small change. Many bills
were not printed on the
reverse side. In order to
discourage counterfeiting,
each bill was usually number
ed and was signed individually

, Much of the coat of the
Revolutionary War was met
by the Issuance of paper
' currency. Over two hundred
and fifty million dollars In
paper curency was issued by
the Continental Congress, and
about two hundred million
dollars was Issued by state
governments. The rapid
depreciation of this paper
money led to the well-known
phrase "not worth a continental."
