"A specimen of Indian dialects (Killemook, Checalish, and Clatsop), pp. 339-344."Daniel Lee (1807-1896) and Joseph H. Frost (1805-1866), Methodist missionaries to the Indians of Oregon, sent out before the United States exercised any authority in the area. Daniel Lee arrived via the Oregon Trail in 1833 and Frost by ship in 1840. Daniel worked under the superintendency of his uncle, Jason Lee, just four years older than Daniel and the pioneer Methodist missionary in the Oregon Territory. The two concentrated their efforts on the Willamette Valley and at The Dalles of the Columbia River. Frost's missionary labors were to the Clatsop Chinookans, near Fort George and the mouth of the Columbia River. His frustration in the work led to his departing for Boston in August, 1843.Ill health forced Daniel Lee to return to his native New Hampshire in the same year. "He coauthored Ten Years in Oregon (1844), an important history of the Oregon mission, which contributed significantly to educating his church with regard to the opportunities and challenges of the work. In later years he served churches in the Midwest." - O'Malley, Biographical Dictionary of Christian Missions. Seller Inventory # 4366
