Publisher's Synopsis
""A Survivor's Recollections of the Whitman Massacre"" is a memoir written by Matilda J. Sager Delaney in 1920. The book recounts the tragic events of the Whitman Massacre, which took place in 1847 in what is now Washington State. The massacre resulted in the deaths of 14 people, including Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, who were missionaries to the Cayuse tribe. Matilda J. Sager was a survivor of the massacre and her recollections provide a firsthand account of the events leading up to and following the attack. The book also offers insights into the lives of the Cayuse tribe and the tensions that existed between them and the settlers. Delaney's memoir is a powerful and emotional account of a dark chapter in American history and provides valuable historical context for understanding the relationships between Native Americans and settlers in the Pacific Northwest during the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
