Abstract
"The fort was established as a military post in 1856 and was constructed under the direction of Maj. Garnett but in 1859 it was turned over by the war department to the Indian department. The first agent of whom there is any records was A. J. Bolon who in 1855 was agent for the Yakima Indians and stationed at Vancouver Wash. Just prior to the establishment of the fort, Bolon heard that there was trouble and dissatisfaction among the Indians and determined to make a personal investigation, with a view to remedying any just cause for dissatisfaction that might exist."
