"Whitman's Ride Through Savage Lands, with Sketches of Indian Life" by Oliver W. Nixon is a book set in Oregon territory. It shows the force, wisdom, and unselfishness of Dr. Marcus Whitman and his accomplished wife. The tale, as he tells it, is very interesting. It is a tale that has been often in the mind of the American public of late years, but it cannot be too often told nor too often pondered. It has in it the very elements that nurture bravery and patriotism. Dr. Nixon tells it well. In simple, straightforward language he gives us the whole story of Dr. Whitman's life-career, indicating the forces that inspired him and the results that attended his efforts. Dr. Nixon sees in the events of the story the guiding and determining hand of Providence.
