He established the }lethodist missioll work in Oregon and stopped at aIel Fort "'alIa Walla, Septemhcl' I, lKH, on his journey to the ,Yillamefte valle\". • His clair:' shows that he arri"eu at Lihert;', ;'10., on SUllc1a:', April ~O, 1834, on his ,va:,' to the Flathead Indians. He joined Capt. Kathan, iel J. Wyeth. The actual start to the west was made April 28. First mention of ,Valla 'Valla comes all .June 21, after the party reached the rendezvous on Green Ri\'t'l'. ".A mall who has just come from "Talla \Valla gave us some eneouraging informHtion," he wrote. "Blessed be God, I feel more and marc to rejoice I was ever counted "'orthy to carry the glad news of salvation to the far western world." The following clay he wrote about talking with some Indians (Nez Perees and Flatheads). "The:,' inquired if we could build houses, and said that the Indians at \Vallah 'Vallah g'm'e horses to a white man to build them it house, 68
Told by the Pioneers and when he got the horses he went off and did not build it. We, of course, expressed our strong disapprobation of his couduct. They said if we could build a house for them they would catch plenty of beaver for us which we could take as a fa\'orable indication showing their desire for improvement. 111tliall.~ Overtaken On August 23, Lee \\-as just lea"ing the Lewis-or Snake river (at the edge of Idaho). "Overtook the Indians and a small party sent out by Capt. ~\IcKay who are on their \vay to 'WaHah "\"fallah." Friday, August 29 he wrote that he met the chief of 'Valla ,Vnlla tribe, who showed him some old papers with scraps of writing on them and a calendar showing the da~r of the month with Sunday distinctly marked-written-I presume by some gentleman of the H. B. company." The chief presented him \vith a horse and, with another dlicf, llelped guide him through the Blue Mountains. "Sunda~-, August 31 Started this A.~I. with the intention to reach ,Vallah \Yallah tonight as our pro\-ision is nearly spent. Left :Messrs. Shepard and Edwards with the cows to be two days to Walla "Valla. An Indian told us that we could not reach \Valla \Yalla till after dark. ,Ve therefore camped at 10 o'clock in good grazing'. The men did not come ,,-ith the cows as we expected and ::\Ir. ,Valker came in search of them but did not find them. Thev had taken another roao. I know • ]10t where it will lead them. "Ve have just eaten the last food we han'. 'Ve have had plenty of meat and a little flour, in case of sickness, UlItil toda~-. ,Ve should douhtless reach \\Yalla ,Valla tomorrow, where we can get plenty. Tm1.;eled 30 M,iles "Tuesday, September 2 ::\Iarched over 30 miles in scn:'n hours y('Sterda~- and arrived safe and hungry at Wallah ,Yallah (Wallula of today). Immediately waited upon the governor of the fort. ::\il'. Pambrun, ,,-ho received me with great civility, ga\-e me food and sent some to the tent for others. On my return found that the brethren had ar- • rived with the cows. Thus we have all arrived at ,Vallah ,Vallah where we were led to suppose we could procure most kinds of food that would be desirable; but corn and flour, salt, a little fat and a few fish from the Indians are all there is in this place. The governor kindly invited me to make the fort my home and proffered me any provisions he had and regretted that he had no better supply. I know not whether to leave our animals here and go by water or go by land. o Lord, do you direct us. Capt. Weyeth has arrived in good health. Capt. Stewart killed a horse for meat being the only kind he could get 69
