Bill Woodward Indian Fighter and Pioneer Survival Tale
The East Oregonian profile by Bert Huffman recounts A P B Bill Woodward, an Indian fighter and scout now near Athena, Oregon. From Iowa to Oregon in 1862, he endured cholera, was left for dead, then carried by Nez Perce Dick to safety, and later fought in the Yakima war and other campaigns before settling on the Umatilla Reservation.
