Kate and Sue McBeth, Missionary Teachers to the Nez Perce

Kate McBeth's Letters

These letters were transcripted from The American Indian Correspondence: The Presbyterian Historical Society Collection of Missionaries; Letters, 1833 - 1893. The University of Idaho Library owns this microfilm collection.

Please note: the McBeth sisters subscribed to the ethnocentrism of 19th century middle-class whites. Their observations are often patronizing and offensive by contemporary standards.
