Oregon Outcast: John BeesonÕs Struggle for Justice for the Indians, 1853Ð1889 - Paperback

by Jan Wright (Author)

During his lifetime, John Beeson (1803Ð1889) was called the Indian Apostle, Father Beeson, the Alpha and Omega of the Indian cause, a monomaniac, a depraved liar, vile, fanatical, and venerable. Because of his insistence on justice for the Indians, he was politically disqualified for residency in Territorial Oregon. His passion for justice and human rights in the face of adversity still resonate today.
