Abstract
"Before the organization of the county government, gold was discovered on the Pend O'Reille river by Joe Morrell in 1854, and in 1855, the news being scattered abroad caused quite a number of miners, packers and traders to come into the valley, among them Francis Wolff who in 1856 brought the first merchandise wagons into the valley. He started from The Dalles, going via Walla Walla valley crossing Snake river at the mouth of the Palouse, by lashing canoes together."
