Abstract
"Fort Simcoe had its origin, although immediately not determined, at The Treaty Council of Walla Walla. At this council a Treaty with the Yakama was concluded June 9, 1855. But it was not until the treaty was ratified by the United States Senate March 8, 1859 and proclaimed by President James Buchanan on April 18 that year that an agency could be legally created. Control of Indian affairs in Washington Territory was vested in the territorial governor, Isaac I. Stevens, when Washington Territory was created from Oregon Territory, March 2, 1853 and Stevens became ex-officio superintendent of Indian Affairs."
