  • An Historical Overview of Vancouver Barracks, 1846-1898, with Suggestions for Further Research
    Part I, “Our Manifest Destiny Bids Fair for Fulfillment”: An Historical Overview of Vancouver Barracks, 1846-1898, with suggestions for further research Military men and women pose for a group photo at Vancouver Barracks, circa 1880s Photo courtesy of Clark County Museum written by Donna L. Sinclair Center for Columbia River History Funded by The National Park Service, Department of the Interior Final Copy, February 2004 This document is the first in a research partnership between the Center for Columbia River History (CCRH) and the National Park Service (NPS) at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. The Park Service contracts with CCRH to encourage and support professional historical research, study, lectures and development in higher education programs related to the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site and the Vancouver National Historic Reserve (VNHR). CCRH is a consortium of the Washington State Historical Society, Portland State University, and Washington State University Vancouver. The mission of the Center for Columbia River History is to promote study of the history of the Columbia River Basin. Introduction For more than 150 years, Vancouver Barracks has been a site of strategic importance in the Pacific Northwest. Established in 1849, the post became a supply base for troops, goods, and services to the interior northwest and the western coast. Throughout the latter half of the nineteenth century soldiers from Vancouver were deployed to explore the northwest, build regional transportation and communication systems, respond to Indian-settler conflicts, and control civil and labor unrest. A thriving community developed nearby, deeply connected economically and socially with the military base. From its inception through WWII, Vancouver was a distinctly military place, an integral part of the city’s character.

Please send articles to Suzi Pengilly by Dec. 1. Calendar of Events October 5 Chapter Meetings—Kopper Kitchen, 2661 Airport Way, Boise 9:30 am Convention Planning Meeting 11:00 am Fall Chapter Meeting Thank You, Jim Payne With great sadness we share with you the August 9th passing of Idaho OCTA member Jim Payne. Upon returning from the national OCTA convention in late July, Jim saw a doctor for a pain in his side. It turned out to be pancreatic cancer-- and it was too late for any kind of effective treatment. A native Californian, Jim wore many hats throughout his life: husband, father, grandfather, aerospace engineer, vintner, 4-H leader, skier, “fast car” enthusiast, and lover of history. After the death of his wife, he moved to McCall, Idaho, in October 2002 with best friend and new life partner Pat Rhodes. Jim’s passion for history centered on the fur trade era and western emigration. He had been active in IOCTA for a number of years as a Director and had recently agreed to serve as co-chairman for the 2016 OCTA convention to be hosted by the Idaho chapter. Jim had recently been elected to the OCTA board of directors and started his term at the recent convention. Jim was a great asset to IOCTA— easy to work with and always willing to participate. Jim at the site of fur trade Fort Hall Please remember Pat as she deals with the sudden Contents loss of Jim.

  • United States Military Posts on the Mexico Border (1856 to Present)
    Interpretive Themes and Related Resources 139 UNITED STATES MILITARY POSTS ON THE MEXICO BORDER (1856 TO PRESENT) Summary of Theme The operations and posts of the United States military are an important part of the history of the Santa Cruz Valley. The first United States Army post was established here in 1856, soon after the region was purchased from Mexico. The first duty was to protect mines and ranches from Apache attacks, which escalated just before troops were withdrawn at the beginning of the Civil War to be redeployed in the East. For a few months in 1862, the Confederate flag flew over the region, until Union troops arrived from California and recaptured it following the westernmost skirmishes of the Civil War. In 1865, United States troops were moved closer to the border to defend it against French troops that had invaded Mexico and occupied Sonora. Between 1866 and 1886, several new posts were established, and this region was the frontline of major campaigns to pacify the Apaches. A new post was established in Nogales in 1910, when the Mexican Revolution threatened to spill across the border. In 1916, this region was a staging area for the Punitive Expedition led by General John J. Pershing; it crossed into Mexico in pursuit of Pancho Villa after he attacked a town in southern New Mexico. Until the beginning of United States involvement in World War I, the military presence was swelled by National Guard units mobilized from western states to protect the border. From 1918 until 1933, the border was guarded by African-American cavalry and infantry regiments known as Buffalo Soldiers.

  • Explorers and Pioneers
    Explorers and Pioneers Who was: Father Francisco Garces Seeking to open a land route between Tucson and California, Fray Francisco Garces explored the desert regions in 1775 and 1776. By the end of February 1776, he had reached the Mohave Villages located a few miles south of this location on the Arizona bank of the Colorado River. The Franciscan Father traveled alone in areas never before seen by a European American. Relying on Native American guides, he walked from village to village. The Mohaves agreed to lead him to the coast along a trail used for trade purposes. On March 4, 1776 accompanied by four natives, Garces crossed the Colorado River, reaching the San Gabriel Mission in California twenty days later. His route followed a much older prehistoric trail used to bring shells and other trade good to the tribes of the mountain and desert West. Garces Street in downtown Las Vegas is named after him. William S. “Old Bill” Williams "Old Bill" Williams (1787 - 1849) was a mountain man and frontiersman who served as an interpreter for the government, and led several expeditions in the West. Fluent in several languages, he lived with the Osage, where he married the daughter of a chief, and with the Ute. In late 1849, Williams joined Fremont’s doomed 4th Expedition, in which 10 men died trying to survey for a transcontinental railway line through the Sangre de Christo range (during winter). Williams left the group on a safer route but was killed by Ute Indians when he tried to return to find survivors.

  • French in the History of Wyoming from La Salle to Arland
    French in the History of Wyoming From La Salle to Arland Daniel A. Nichter https://wyo.press To Professor Emeritus Walter G. Langlois ii Preamble Let's address the elephant in the room: this is a book about history. And if that isn't boring enough, it's about Wyoming history, a state few people seem to know anything significant about. And to make it really boring, it's about French influences in the history of Wyoming. Wake up! This book is exciting and entertaining! Don't think of it as a history bookI don't. This is a book of stories, real and extraordinary people and their lives. Reality TV? Survivor series? Top chef? Amateurs, all of them! The people we're about meet will amaze and inspire you because, although their world was different, everything about them as humans is timeless. It doesn't matter that you and I have smart phones with GPS but they didn't even have hand-drawn maps of Wyoming. It doesn't matter that you and I have antibiotics but they just let a fever run its course, sometimes for a month or more. The facts of our worlds are radically different, but our hearts are the same: inspiration, determination, grit and perseverance; the joy of discovery, the loneliness of exploration; love, happiness, celebration; jealousy, anger, hatred; doubt, worry, and courage. This book is the product of years of research, undergirded by historical fact and the rigor of academic truth, but au cœur it is a book of stories as relevant today as one hundred years ago or one hundred years to come, for we are all explorers struggling to discover and settle new lands.
