Date est."The local agencies at the Cascades, Vancouver and White Salmon were temporary establishments, set up to accommodate the Indians in process of removal from the vicinity of the Columbia River to the Yakima Reservation. On May 16, 1859, Agent Richard Hyatt Lansdale received from the United States Army from the Office of Indian Affairs the site and property of Fort Simcoe, where he established himself in obedience to instructions to 'break up and abandon the Territory, located at White Salmon, and to remove my (Lansdale's) agency to Fort Simcoe, and establish it on the reservation lately established by the ratification of the Yakima Treaty.' The completion of the removal during the summer of 1859 marks the end of the complete transformation of the Columbia River District as an administrative entity."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.
