Excerpt from Waiilatpu, Its Rise and Fall, 1836-1847: A Story of Pioneer Days in the Pacific Northwest Based Entirely Upon Historical Research In searching through the darkened corridors of the past, it has been a source Of much gratification to the author to find in Narcissa Prentiss Whitman a character well intended to exemplify the higher and nobler qualities Of our race. It was her great privilege to be the first American woman to cross the continent and look upon the waters Of the Columbia River, and that fact alone should entitled her to distinction.
