520 "In 1846, French Canadian-born A.M.A. Blanchet was named
the first Catholic bishop of Walla Walla in the area soon
to become Washington Territory. He arrived at Fort Walla
Walla in late September 1847, part of the largest movement
over the Oregon Trail to date. During the thirty-two years
of Blanchet's tenure in the Northwest, the region
underwent profound social and political change as the
Hudson's Bay Company moved headquarters and many
operations north following the Oregon Treaty, U.S.
government and institutions were established, and Native
American inhabitants dealt with displacement and
discrimination. Blanchet chronicled both his own pastoral
and administrative life and his observations on the world
around him in a voluminous correspondence-almost nine
hundred letters-to religious superiors and colleagues in
Montreal, Paris, and Rome; funding organizations; other
missionaries; and U.S. officials. This selection of
Blanchet's letters provides a fascinating view of
Washington Territory as seen through the eyes of an
intelligent, devout, energetic, perceptive, and
occasionally irascible cleric and administrator. Almost
all of Blanchet's correspondence was in French. Roberta
Stringham Brown and Patricia O'Connell Killen have chosen
forty-five of those letters to translate and annotate,
creating a history of early Washington that provides new
insights into relationships, events, and personalities. A
number of the letters provide first-hand glimpses of
familiar events, such as the Whitman tragedy, the
California gold rush, Indian wars and land displacement,
transportation advances, and the domestic material culture
of a frontier borderland. Others voice the hardships of
historically underrepresented groups, including Native
Americans, Metis, and French Canadians, and the
experiences of ordinary people in growing population
centers such as Seattle, Walla Walla, and Vancouver, Wash-
ington. Still others describe the struggle to bring social,
medical, and educational institutions to the region, a
struggle in which women religious workers played a key
role. The letters-and the editors' fascinating annotations
-provide an engaging and insightful look at an important
period in the history of the Pacific Northwest and
southwest Canada. Roberta Stringham Brown is professor of
French at Pacific Lutheran University. Patricia O'Connell
Killen is professor of religious studies and academic vice
president at Gonzaga University"--|cProvided by publisher.
