Marcus and Narcissa Whitman were Protestant missionaries who played a major role in establishing the Oregon Trail and promoting the settlement of the Pacific Northwest. Their greatest success was likely in providing medical care and spreading Christianity to Native American tribes in the region, as well as helping to facilitate westward migration.
