Abstract
"When Col. George W. Wright was on his peacemaking expedition he built Fort Na-chess, a field work of earth and gabions called by the old settlers, the basket fort. It was located on the south bank of the Naches river eight miles from Yakima and was built in 1856 by Col. Wright, commanding the ninth infantry when he came to the Yakima country to treat with the Indians. The fort is located on the south bank of the Naches river, eight miles form Yakima... Its location is the place where the old Indian trail crossed. The trail was used by the Indians as they came up from Celilo on the Columbia."
