The quake caused many slides in the Yakima basin. Fort Simcoe was established as a military post in August 8, 1856 with Col. George Wright commanding (he wrote that he had located the fort on To-pan-ish creek and..this valley is much warmer in winter than those further north..) Capt. Frederick Dent, brother-in-law of U. S. Grant put in the next month build a military road from The Dalles to the fort."NO KNOWN COPYRIGHT The organization that has made the Item available reasonably believes that the Item is not restricted by copyright or related rights, but a conclusive determination could not be made.
