 Salem (Oregon) Online History - Jason Lee
Although Lee established his mission in what is now Salem, Oregon, hundreds of miles from the nearest Flathead or Nez Perce, and was almost entirely unsuccessful in his ministry to the local Kalapuya Indians, his mission had a dramatic and lasting effect that those four Indian searchers could never have anticipated.
Lee was accompanied by one of the few Indian children he had managed to convert, a teenage boy whose religious devotion served as a testimonial to the mission's success.
Lee believed that in order to transform Oregon into a Christian society, it was necessary to have established family life and strong civil government--in other words, large numbers of white settlers and U.S. territorial status.
