Oregon | Activity 5.3: Narcissa Prentiss Whitman

Students listen to background on the lives, work, and deaths of Narcissa Prentiss Whitman and her husband Marcus Whitman, and learn how these key individuals influenced the decision to make Oregon a United States territory. They then write a paragraph about the difficulty of traveling to—and living in—the Pacific Northwest during the early days of settlement.
