Fr. Brouillet was the first outsider on the scene of the massacre, and describes his efforts to allay the hostilities and suspicions of the Indians, comfort the captives, and bury the dead. This brief book gathers other accounts and evidence to confront charges made by some of the Protestant missionaries that the Catholic clergy exacerbated the Whitman’s poor relations with the Indians and incited the violence.
