Nixon is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book centers on Dr. Marcus Whitman, highlighting his contributions to the early American settlement of Oregon and his efforts to advocate for the region's recognition as American territory. It aims to illuminate Whitman's heroism and sacrifices while providing insight into the challenges faced by pioneers during this transformative period in U.S. history. The opening of the book introduces the life and mission of Marcus Whitman as a key figure in Oregon's history. It begins with a dedication to the children who attended his school, reflecting on the past and the impact of Whitman's work. The preface establishes that the narrative will not dive deeply into the broader history of Oregon or Whitman's complete biography but will focus on his significant yet often unrecognized role in shaping the region's future. Through anecdotes and historical sketches, the text sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Whitman's pivotal "ride" to save Oregon, and it lays a foundation for understanding the implications of his missionary endeavors amidst growing tensions between American settlers and indigenous populations.
