Sons of Marcus Whitman is a historical fiction novel by Bernard Molohon. The story follows the lives of two brothers, John and William Whitman, who are the sons of the famous missionary and pioneer, Marcus Whitman. The novel is set in the mid-1800s and takes place in the Pacific Northwest, where the Whitman family settled and established a mission to convert Native Americans to Christianity.As the brothers grow up, they find themselves torn between their loyalty to their father's mission and their sympathy for the Native Americans they encounter. John becomes a doctor and is sent to work at a reservation, where he witnesses the mistreatment of the Native Americans and becomes an advocate for their rights. William, on the other hand, becomes a successful businessman and politician, but struggles with his conscience as he profits from the land and resources taken from the Native Americans.The novel explores themes of identity, loyalty, and the clash of cultures between the white settlers and the Native Americans. Molohon's writing is rich in detail and historical accuracy, painting a vivid picture of life in the Pacific Northwest during this time period. Sons of Marcus Whitman is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that will appeal to readers interested in American history, Native American culture, and the complexities of family relationships.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
