Sam Pambrun portrays his great-great grandfather who was the
Hudson’s Bay Perfect at Fort Nez Perce in 1858. Col. George Wright marched
through the Pambrun farm on his way to Ft. Walla Walla for the Plateau wars of
Battle of Four Lakes and Battle of Spokane Plains. Theodor Kolecki, the Wright
topographer, indicated the Pambrun farm on his “Field Note Map”. The modern Sam
and I found this location. Pambrun will also discuss the French community along
the Walla Walla River and the Indian Battle that took place in the region.
Steve Plucker will re-enact an enlisted soldier’s life of
1858. Steve’s great-great grandfather was in the command of Major Garnet who
marched north from Ft. Simcoe to Ft. Colville at the same time that Wright
marched to the Spokane Falls region.
