Beyond the Rocky Mountains
Samuel Parker is my distant Great Uncle. He was a missionary to the Indians in the Northwest from 1835 to 1837. His book was recently quoted for the PBS mini-series "The West" in 1998. Originally published in 1838, it went through several subsequent editions both in America and abroad. The following book is taken unabridged from the third edition, published in 1842.
