L. Scott to Rev. Durbin, 1858-03-01
Scope and Contents
These letters describe the daily life, hardships, and deaths associated with the work of missionaries and their families. Some passages deal with the death of a child and the separation of husband from wife. One description is of the Native American encampment on the banks of the Columbia River in the autumn during the salmon run when it almost seemed one could cross the river by walking on the fish migrating upstream. Includes the journal of H. K. W. Perkins (Aug. 12, 1843, to March 19, 1844; 106 pages) in which he describes his work and travels as a missionary in Oregon.
