Description: Lyman's History of Old Walla Walla County, embracing Walla ì Walla, Columbia, Garfield, and Asotin Counties

The opening of a new century is a fitting time to cast a ì backward glance in our local history, reconstruct to the eye of ì the present the interesting and heroic events of the past, and by ì comparison between past and present forecast something of the ì future.

Old Oregon Territory, of which this county and this state were ì once parts, with its isolation, its pathos, its hospitality, has ì passed away. It had a strange history. It was the ignis ì fatuus of successive generations of explorers, luring them on ì with that indescribal)le fascination which seems always to have ì drawn men to the ever-receding circle of the "Westmost West," and ì yet for years and years veiling itself in the mists of ì uncertainty and misapprehension.
