Authentic account of the murder of Dr. Whitman and other missionaries

Title	Authentic account of the murder of Dr. Whitman and other missionaries, by the Cayuse Indians of Oregon, in 1847, and the causes which led to the horrible catastrophe
Author:	Brouillet, J. B. A. (Jean Baptiste Abraham), 1813-1884
Contents:	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.
