He was 14 yrs when he moved to live with his brother John who was a Presbyterian Minister when their father died. He was bound out to a carpenter and mastered that trade. In his youth he was brash, overbearing, ambitious, inflexible, a strong
individualist, stubborn, honorable, and described as "a good hater." He was studying medicine and surgery to be a doctor when he Moved to Oregon with first Presbyterian Missionaries, Whitman and Spaulding in 1836. William Lyman described him as one of
the "manliest men ever to come to OR" He returned to the States in 1837 and married. They returned 1838. He built the first building of Williamette Univ. in 1842. was very prominent in forming the provisional govt. in 1843, thus stopping the British
claims to the country. He and Whitman rode East together for a solid 48 hours creating their plan to keep Oregon for the US. Whitman went on to Washington, WH turned home to put into the local plan into action. He was a member of Provisional
Legislature 1845. Farmed on Clatsop Plains from 46-55. Went East in 1853 and returned with 400 sheep, driving them 20mi a day from Missouri, only to see them washed downriver in the steamboat and drowned in the Columbia within sight of his home. His
home was mortgaged for this endeavor and he lost it. Entered the sawmill business, and in 1858 the Fraser River mines. He built a boat and carried supplies to the Lewiston mines in 1861. He also wrote a history of the Gray family. He wrote a
standard history of Oregon from the discovery of the Columbia River by Capt. Robert Gray of Boston to 1849, considered partisan and intolerant, but a valuable early authority. He and his wife were buried at their home, Fairfield Farm until 1916 when
they were interred at the Whitman Mission in Waiilatpu WA next to their friends the whitmans who were massacred by indians in 1848. His history of OR taken off the market because of it's claims that the Roman Catholic missionaries' activities
contributed to the Whitman massacre.
From a History of OR sent by Norris Perkins:
WH's 2 contributions to history were working with Whitman to hold OR for America and fighting the influence of the Jesuits' exploitation and unwholesome activities with the Indians. Says he was born in Cayuga Co. Traveled with Spalding and Whitman as
their secular agent of their Indian missions. Mary Dix married him on very short acquaintance, and despite her wealth and social standing, became his missionary standing due to a religious calling. They travelled by steamer and stage coach to
Independence MO, where they joined with 4 other couples heading to the missionary work and went by horseback, sleeping in tents. They were often surrounded and followed by bands of indians. on the last part of their trip they traveled with Captn John
Sutter of CA Gold Rush fame. The reached the mission after 129 days on horseback. Mary undertook teaching the women and children, more than 50, under a pine tree until a log school house was built. Her singing voice was a powerful draw to the indians,
one of the reasons for the great revival of the nez perce indians, where 100s joined the religion. When word came that England was to get OR, WH and Whitman rode out together to plan away from spies. WH was to go to Salem to plan with the pioneers
there. He floated his family down the Columbia to Celilo in a bateau belinging to the Hudson Bay Co. but hearing of the rapids, chose to attempt to cross the mountains on indian ponies but they were snowed in. Indians went by canoe down the river
and whites sent a Hudson Bay boat to save them. They found them by following Mary's singing. Their home by the williamette river became the focus of social and reform movements, religious and temperance too. He organized "wolf meetings" to organize a
defense against them, then turned these meetings into a vote for provisional govt for America. Although the pioneers were significantly British Canadian, they voted 52 to 50 to accept. He was a probate judge and a territorial legislator, introducing
the first law to provide education for all children in public schools. He brought back a lot of gold dust from CA. About 1840 he performed the first trepanning operation in the northwest, removing a depressed skull fracture from an indian chief's son,
and covering it with a hammered silver dollar. He was active in farming, prospecting, construction, boat building, freighting, politics, and medicine. They formed the first Presbyterian church in 1846 on the Clatsop plains. In 1861 he built a 91 foot
wooden sailing lsoop in a lake near Okanogan River. He cut his own timber, whipsawed the planks, and assembled it entirely without metal. His family helped him collect flax and gum to calk the hull. He named it Sarah F. Gray. He sailed it down
dangerous rapids on the Columbia to The Dalles where he picked up freight and went up to the Snake, where he winched the boat up rapids with his son Will. It was a 2 month journey, but so successful that he built a 100 foot steamboat named Cascadilla
and sold in 1864. In 1867 He assisted Sec of State Seward in the purchase of Alaska from Russia. In 1869 the journeyd to San Francisco then by rail back to ny. "bigotry was absolutelty foreign to WH's nature, but when he saw the best good of the
country and its people undermined in the interests of a religious system he considered unworthy of the name, he roused himself to immediate action" His book contains sweeping condemnation of the catholics in the northwest. He also hated hudson Bay
Co., as he considered these 2 institutions to be what led to the Whitman massacre.
