Atkinson visited the East in 1848 and attended the meeting of the A. B. C. F. M. at Norwich, Conn. "He there took the opportunity to try to establish the fact of Dr. Whitman's going to Washington in midwinter to save Oregon to the United States. In Oregon at that time, very few admitted this, but Dr. Atkinson was firm in the belief of the important fact, and urged Dr. Whitman's associate missionaries to speak out to establish it, but there was great opposition to the idea."....p. 147. This book contains reprints of Atkinson's "The American Colonist in Oregon," of Lovejoy's letter to Atkinson, dated February 14, 1876, and of Atkinson's address before the New York Chamber of Commerce.

A straightforward account based upon early sources. Not much attention is given to Whitman's Eastern trip. In a footnote, v. I, p. 343, the author says, "Gray wickedly asserts that Whitman went to Washington with a political purpose, instead of going on the business of the mission." This account was written by Mrs. Victor. (For a valuable discussion of the origin and authorship of the Bancroft Pacific States Publications, see paper by Dr. W. A. Morris in the Oregon Historical Society. Quarterly, 4:287-364. Dec. 1903.)
