Ryan Booth’s book review has been published in Columbia: The Magazine of Northwest History. “Hang Them All – George Wright and the Plateau Indian War” was written by Donald L. Cutler and examines the often forgotten chapter of the U.S. Army and Native American interactions in the antebellum American West. This article and book are well worth the time to read. It mentions Colonel Edwin Steptoe and his defeat at Pine Creek outside the town of Rosalia in Whitman County.
