Abstract
"Yakima-One hundred years of weathering have been gentle to old Fort Simcoe. But it has been necessary for a restoration project to smooth away the wrinkles and blow back the dust of time for Sunday's dedication of the state's most recently developed historic park. It was an even 100 years ago Aug. 8 that blue coated troops, mostly Irishmen, marched into Simcoe Valley, deep on the Yakima Indian Reservation and began building the military frontier post 35 miles southwest of present Yakima. Its dual purpose was to protect the settlers from the Indians and to protect the Indians from the encroaching white men."
