The Nez Perce War: Geography and Geology along the Route (Museum After Hours, November 2024)
Chased by the US Army from June to October of 1877, the Nez Perce tried to reach Canada from their homeland in the Inland Northwest.
With their women, elders, children, and livestock, they left their valley northeast of the Wallowa Mountains, crossed the Snake River in flood, navigated the many mountains and valleys of the northern Rocky Mountains, encountered tourists in five-year-old Yellowstone National Park, avoided the federal troops by descending into the canyon of Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River, and fled north across the Great Plains. The Nez Perce surrendered in north-central Montana, only 40 miles from the Canadian border.
Their route crossed a variety of plutonic, volcanic, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks from most periods of Earth history, from 2.7 billion years ago to 600,000 years ago. These rocks not only formed on and near the North American continent, but also include exotic terranes from across the Pacific Ocean; they record at least four episodes of mountain building.

I’m hearing impaired and with no “closed captions” available, the echo in that hall makes it extremely difficult to follow what is a fine lecture subject.
Need a microphone, really need a microphone….
Beautiful machine and great vid. Just crazy to think about them throwing blows instead of actually putting out the fires is hilarious and horrible lol
Thank you Ranger Mike and the team at Fort Walla Walla Museum and the Whitman Mission National Historic site, for this video. It was a great asset for my Washington State History class.
Now that is horse power (mule)!
What a truly AAAMazing find! Thanks to his daughter for taking the time to make the call and give the donation.
Great stories, sure wish we could see a tour of the train itself.
Would have enjoyed seeing a few shots of the train operating, visitors on board and a talk with the one or more conductor/s.
Very interesting Ranger Mike, I visited your location and it was bittersweet given the events that happened. I'm curious, are all of the victims physically laid to rest together; in the actual grave marked as one large plot at the bottom of the hill?
I came from Burbank CA, and I saw a Mule at the Zoo...once.
Mule power 😮😊
Corporate farms with their 33-mule teams cost jobs and will destroy rural America!
As a Young Man Iran combined for wheat and peas
I came from Walla Walla and my stepfather. Sewed saxs on the old mule harvesters.
Me irrita hoje em dia os operadores não querem trabalhar nem uma hora porquê o ar condicionado parou de funcionar olha a dificuldade que era
i have a flyer in my mess somewhere that mentioned that @ 2:24 it was a replica for the wells fargo stage .
Absolutely outstanding history lesson on early fire fighting equipment. I'm particularly interested in early horse drawn fire fighting equipment. I am a modeler and have an 1869 Allerton Fire pumper as well as a ladder wagon as a future project. My plan is to give these models to our local fire station as a huge thank you!
Just didn't look familiar,then realized it was Walla Walla USA,not Walla Walla Australia.!
the mule jenny ...
There is a channel called open gate. It is from, I think, S America. They use a chute that is mounted on the back of a truck and attached to some power source. The animal is run into the gate, it is shut behind him. Then the entire chute lifts the animal until it is lying flat in its side. The hooves are secured at each corner. This evenly distributes the animal's weight over the greatest possible surface area, it's calm because it has no room to struggle and the feet are held fast and secure for trimming. Haven't seen anything like it in the US, but there may be. Would have been an absolute godsend for shoeing ozen, I think. Not a farrier, so I might be totally wrong on that front. It is wonderful for trimming though
Interesting
Thanks
I've watched a lot and read good bit bout fur trading and mountain men frontiersmen..Kit Carson,Hugh Glas, Jim Bridger and so forth but hadn't heard of this history.. thanks for sharing
Nice
Nice
Cool. A pnw railroad find! Thank you.

I know this was a couple of years, but I think that I may be related to the Barnett family. Thank you for this presentation as it gives me an abundance of information in searching for my family, the Barnetts.
Enjoyed your presentation and learning about your genuine pageant from the days of American New Pageantry. Thanks for posting! I'm currently writing about the Ramona Pageant, also performed by local volunteers (Amerindian, Hispanic and Anglo heritage). Also many families involved for generations. Pageant was launched in 1923 (Centennial Anniversary last year.). Whereas yours is a true "pageant," this show is "pageant-drama," with a central storyline focused on a few main characters, and featuring intermittent pageantry (crowd) scenes: ua-cam.com/video/oWB2z4kahFU/v-deo.html
Excellent. Thanks!
That's amazing
Notice the conical bullets. More standard than round.
Thank you for the instructive video. I am interested in the history of volunteer fire departments having been very active from 1964 to 1988 and rising to the rank of Chief of department in 1983. But now at 75 I am still interested in the service of the younger fire fighters & EMT'S.
When I was a reporter at the Walla Walla Union-Bulletin in the mid-1970s, I immersed myself in gathering history and photos about the Walla Walla Army Air Base from World War II. This collection would have been exciting then, as it is now. I noticed one or two photos in this video that I believe were taken at other places, and other times, but that does not detract from what you have done. This is an amazing window on the Walla Walla base. Perhaps I can visit the museum and view the collection some time, offering a few observations on the photos' contents and context. Thank you, to the Mach family and to the Fort Walla Walla Museum for preserving and sharing these photos.
MOST INTERESTING !!! Very informative and succinct
Very cool piece of fire service history thanks for sharing cap
The whistle also often functioned as a Safety (relief) valve if the pressure inside the boiler got too high... Not only venting steam to lower the pressure, but letting everyone around know that they need to take prompt action to lower the pressure!
Wonderful
The horses responding to the fire alarm by eagerly donning harnesses is epic, especially with the dog barking. Great footage.
This was probebly the best, and most instructive historylesson on old time firefighting I ever seen. Many thanks from a former firecapten in Sweden.👍
Very good narration, delivery, and footage.
Awesome! Thank you!
✅ *promosm*
In Britain the insurance companies owned the Fire engines. The first two fire engines would be paid to put the fire out, so the other firefighters would block the roads to the fire. When the pumps were pumped by manpower, the Firemen would pay for the water to be pumped in either pennies, or pints of beer. Most men chose pints, but you don't want to run out of pints, as when the beer dries up, so did the water.
Very interesting video.Those steamers worked exacly like a steam locomotive.Greetings from Montréal Québec!🚨🚒🐎
Love it,your very lucky you get to do this,also I think history tastes like chocolate chip cookies to.😊
This is great information.I guess I'm kinda an artifact to I guess,my 5th great grandfather was the Walla Walla chief who signed the treaty of 1855 ,but was sadly murdered that same year. His daughter my 4th great grandma married a Hudson Bay company worker. This history really hits home for me.I can't wait to make it to all these museums and learn more. Thank you for sharing this.😊
This is very interesting. I'm loving my Oregon history and my direct great grandma was a registered member of the confederated tribes of the Umatilla. I always remember the year the round up started because my great great grandfather died there on his allotment of land in 1911. I've been trying to get to pendleton for years now to attend a round up and a powwow. Lived in Oregon my whole life and still waiting for this on my bucket list.😊 Thanks for the history which is Awesome.
It makes me wonder if my family attended the first round up in 1910 .
My 5th great grandfather was the Walla Walla chief who was murdered in 1855 after he signed the treaty. History is amazing and awesome. 😊
Thank you for your comments! We are very gad you enjoyed this video. We will be posting another one pretty soon about the history of the Happy Canyon Pageant. The Pendleton Round-Up (and Happy Canyon) is totally impressive. Well worth a visit!
Great job, Carl! I learned a lot.
Who ever filmed this did a horrible job. Why would you keep showing the speaker and not whats on the projection screen that the speaker is pointing at and talking about? Whats the point of just showing the guy talking, when hes showing images? Makes no sense.
