This presentation features the story of John Beeson (1803–1889) who was called the Indian Apostle, Father Beeson, the Alpha and Omega of the Indian cause, a monomaniac, a depraved liar, vile, fanatical, and venerable. An advocate of justice for the Indians, he was politically disqualified for residency in Territorial Oregon. But his passion for justice and human rights in the face of adversity still resonate today.
