I was mormon and have family history that was part of it. Brigham Young ordered the killings. Mormons from cedar city dressed as Indians and killed them and stole there things. They brought it to the bishop store house and gave it to people in the 2 wards that was there at the time. This guy is not telling the truth. My relative turn states evidence to the calvery to get off from 2 he shot. Then he moved to Idaho. Brigham allowed them to stop in Cedar stay the night and said they had free pass to go then set the stage to murder them. Under 8 years old they brought back to Cedar city and raised them in Mormonism. 8 and above yes children the murdered. Below accountable age they keep. They lie about this and change history.

You should do a story on the "fish wars bridge." It is the bridge that goes from Portland Ave over the river into fife. It was renamed just a few years ago to honor the fish wars that cause the Bolt decision. Park ranger and fish and wildlife were overly aggressive on what they thought they had control over. A lot of Indians were shot, beat up, and thrown in jail all over the state.

BRO! Im a transplant into the Longview Kelso area. This place is just over 100 years old but we got some brick structures way older than that story. The Oak trees lining washington street are almost 400 years old. One fell and i counted 375 rings. Theres underground tunnels . Nothing adds up to the narrative. Is all of Washington state like this?
@searchingforhistory 12 күн бұрын
I am not sure how to answer your question... Outside of Hudson Bay Company forts, there wasn't much Euro-american development in Washington state before the 1840s. The oldest documented structure built by Euro-Americans is the 1792 Spanish Fort Núñez Gaona on the shore of Neah Bay, which no longer exists. The earliest Euro-American structures in Washington would be around 200 years old at the most. The oldest building that I am aware of that exists today is the original Fort Nisqually granary building which is now located at today's Fort Nisqually was built in 1843. I can't explain why you would have 400 year old oak trees lining a street in the Longview area... the only explanation is 1) they are natural and predate the establishment of the city but a more likely explanation is 2) you were counting both the summer growth and the winter growth as separate years. I would love to learn more about the underground tunnels! Thanks for watching!

I've read some on this in the past and I believe the feds were going to send troops to Utah to see what exactly the Mormons were up in their new location The Mormons were not in favor of this and so they wanted to keep people out of their area, thus the attack. If I remember correctly, they used the Native Americans as cover and could blame them for the attacks rather then the blame falling on the Mormons. Again, this might not be correct, but it is what I seem to remember reading. . .
