Rene,

Col. Lawrence Kip's journal originally published in 1897 by the
Department of Economics and History, University of Oregon, edited by
F.G. Young, Eugene, Oregon was reprinted by the Shorey Book Store in
Seattle in 1971.  Kip provides a soldier's perspective in a day-by-day
account of the treaty council from May 23 to June 20, 1855.

A pamphlet published by the Yakima (now Yakama) Tribal Council in 1955
provides an Indian perspective.  The pamphlet is entitled "Treaty
Centennial, 1855-1955, The Yakimas."  There is a broader historical
context in the pamphlet and it includes the text of the treaty and copy
of the signatures.  Kamaiakun signed on June 9, 1855.

You can contact me off-list for more information on these sources if you
wish.

Subject: Camp Stevens?

Can anyone point me to any literture about Walla Walla Valley, Treaty
Ground, Camp Stevens (Washington State).  This is where the treaty with
the
Yakima and the Nez Perce was signed by Gov. Isaac Stevens on May 22nd,
1855.

I am looking for descriptions of the actual day, event, and location for
a
paper.

Thank you,

Rene
