Northwest -- Battlefields -- Wright Campaign (#11)

Fort George Wright (Wash.)

"The rock to the northwest of Fort George G. Wright which it had been proposed the United States Board of Geographic Names should name "Kamiakin's Crag" in honor of the notable Yakima Indian leader of the eighteen-fifties. It was at this point that the Yakimas under Kamiakin's leadership made their final stand against the invading force of Colonel Wright in September 1858. This engagement was the last in this section in the series of Indian wars destined to bring to an end the power of the Indians in what is now known as the Inland Empire section of the Pacific Northwest."
