Abstract
"In 1857 he [Elisha McDaniel] came to Yakima with the Oregon volunteers to assist in quieting the Indians who were then getting troublesome. In the succeeding few years after his return to Oregon his home suffered severe losses, having through his kindness of heart gone security for a number of supposed friends. They in most every instance left Mr. McDaniel to pay the fiddler. In this way he lost $50,000 in one year, which was the commencement of the end of his splendid prosperity he having been considered at one time the wealthiest man in Oregon."
