Abstract
"Just prior to the outbreak of the war (Yakima war) an event occurred which brought joy to many hearts. A discovery of gold was reported to have been made in the vicinity of the Hudson Bay company's Fort Colville and not a little excitement had been aroused in consequence. It was hoped that this would cause the long-looked for large immigration of people into the territory and its more complete settlement. Instead it furnished the immediate occasion for the melancholy war which did so much to retard development and delay settlement."
