Marcus Whitman

Did Marcus Whitman "save" Oregon to the United States, by ensuring it would not fall under British authority? This point was debated in newspaper articles and historical writings throughout the late 19th century, and is widely considered to have been decisively settled by Yale historian Edward Gaylord Bourne in 1901.
