Excerpt from History of Washington, Vol. 3: The Rise and Progress of an American State
The Indians on the west side of the mountains were quite as annoying as those on the east side, and in places far more dangerous. Many were murdered by them. In a few cases Whole families were killed.
Late in 1851 the family of Walter G. Perry, and three other families with two unmarried men, in four wagons, were traveling together near White Horse Creek in Idaho. The larger train, with which they had come most of the way, had been divided in order to find better grazing for the stock, the large number of teams which had preceded them having eaten the grass so close that theirs were finding but scanty pasturage. Early in the morning, perhaps an hour after they had left camp, they saw an unusually large number of Indians approaching, some on horses and some on foot.
