 St. Helens, Oregon, July 25. Cds with manuscript date on 1853 folded letter with manuscript "5" collect rate from Thomas Smith headed "Milton" to Gov. Curry in Salem about power of attorney to collect Cayuse War
claims for Nathaniel Crosby, two vert. file folds, F.-V.F., rare example of first St. Helens handstamp.
Estimate; $300 - 400.
The Cayuse War was an armed conflict that took place in the Northwestern United States from
1847 to 1855 between the Cayuse people of the region and the United States Government and local American settlers. Caused in part by the influx of disease and settlers to the region, the immediate start of the conflict occurred in 1847 when the
Whitman Massacre took place at the Whitman Mission near present day Walla Walla, Washington when fourteen people were killed in and around the mission. Over the next few years the Provisional Government of Oregon and later the United States Army
battled the Indians east of the Cascades. This was the first of several wars between the Indians and American settlers in that region that would lead to the negotiations between the United States and Indians of the Columbia Plateau, creating a number
of Indian reservations. (Image1)
