This chapter explores the controversy that arose in 1900 when Edward Bourne presented evidence at the American Historical Association's (AHA) annual meeting that the Marcus Whitman story was false. It traces the debate exemplified by Bourne and William Isaac Marshall, and Myron Eells and William Mowry, which situates the controversy within the professionalization of the historical discipline and its relationship to the discipline of comparative religion. It also highlights the assumptions underlying the removal of the Whitman story from most scholarly histories, which retained the racialized logic of earlier modes of history. The chapter talks about scholars, such as Bourne and Marshall, who advocated the new, scientific history methods that placed their work within a broad teleology of progress which positioned their opponents as primitive. It explains how the Whitman story served as a signifier for the rejection of scientific history and the preservation of earlier moral and religious values.

This chapter describes the tale of Marcus Whitman's ride as a legend with real consequences as it played a central role in constructions of regional and religious identities. It reviews how the Whitman story helped Anglo-Americans narrate their way into lands that they had conquered and allowed Pacific Northwest Protestants to envision the West as a Christian region. It also talks about how the story powered historical organizations, fundraising efforts, and public displays of the unity of Protestant and state power. The chapter looks at the changing iterations of the Whitman story that reflected and shaped academic and popular history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It emphasizes how providential history and the Whitman story continued to haunt the halls of the academy, the pages of popular history, and spaces of public remembrance in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

This chapter focuses on another of Marcus Whitman's missionary associates, William Henry Gray, who participated in the first efforts to commemorate the Pacific Northwest's Anglo-American pioneers. It highlights the Oregonians' mythology of Whitman in their earliest attempts to create a regional history, which made Henry Harmon Spalding's providential history a part of broader struggles over regional identity. It also talks about the establishment of the Pioneer and Historical Society of Oregon, which is a Protestant-leaning organization that fashioned Whitman into a key symbol of Oregon's white Christian pioneer heritage. The chapter refers to detractors of the Whitman story who sought to demonstrate that the West was abandoning local legends in favor of modern historical methods. It emphasizes two conflicting historical methodologies: pioneer providentialism and pioneer secularism.
