Becoming Walla Walla

The Transformation of Cayuse Country, 1805-1879

Beschreibung

Becoming Walla Walla covers Walla Walla Valley history from the time of the Sahaptian Peoples' first encounters with Euro-Americans to the initial expiration of the U.S. government's treaty with the Cayuse, Walla Walla, and Umatilla. It sheds light on the city's and reservation's simultaneous development, re-animates the Walla Walla of the 1860s and '70s, reconsiders the city's status in early Washington Territory and Oregon State histories, and documents transformations of the region's built and natural environments.
