Old Settlers Stories of the Yakima Trek and Indian War
Norra Yarma recalls 1852 to 1856 journeys from Burlington Iowa to Oregon and Washington. James Wills leads the Shelton Weddle train across the plains facing bear, Indian attacks, and brutal winters. Wills and companions rescue and ferry cattle to starving volunteers and endure a Snake River crossing in frigid April. The narrative recalls battles, rescues, and survival in the early Yakima and Klickitat valleys.
