Here's what an essay had to say about the post which soon became a fort: "The post is intended to confine the Colville and Spokane Indians on reservations north and west of the rivers, and remove them from the fertile farmland to the southeast, around the developing city of Spokane." Nice.

The married officers all had river-view houses. The bachelor officers had to share the view from their quarters.
P.S. Seventeen wild turkeys just strutted across the front yard while I was writing this. We've been wondering why there weren't more. We've only seen five before today.

Our country sure has some cool National Parks. Too bad this one has a sordid past. But, someone told me once that is why we studied history in school, so we would learn from our mistakes. Hmmmmmmmm...........
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I would like to visit there someday.
Oh yeah, we any of those turkeys cute little babies. What did we find out they were called? Poults?
ReplyDeleteThere were all sizes, only 2 big ones, so figured out some were teen ages, some youngsters and some babies. It was very cold and windy up north and even a little rain, hope summer comes soon, going to see "Winnie the Pooh" this am.
ReplyDeleteThat was some flock cruising the neighborhood!
ReplyDeleteI hear Winnie the Pooh is great, have fun!!
Speaking of Winnie the Pooh, I heard its really good too, but does it bother anyone else that the voices dont match the old ones well? Like its not the same was Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day....I looked it up on YouTube :)
ReplyDeleteyes, when we see the ads on tv we comment it's not the same - Blustery Day, best ever!
ReplyDeletehelp... p-p-piglet...m-m-me!
