Kate and Sue McBeth, Missionary Teachers to the Nez Perce

Ministers and Agents

These letters provide additional perspective on the McBeth sisters. The writers, (ministers and government agents), are often critical of the sisters personalities and tactics (particularly Sue's) but maintain a generally supportive attitude toward the importance of their work. Of special interest are C. E. Monteith's letter of July 21, 1885 and Dr. Ellinwood’s report dated September 9, 1885.
