It had long been the policy of the
w$r department to withdraw all troops
from the Indian country for winter
quarters at Walla Walla, Fort Dalles
and Vancouver. . -V' '
... But four summer can-paigns against'
the Indians had convinced Col, Currey
and pther volunteer ofllccrs that the
speedy way to end hostilities was .to
occupy wit troops, the wlntsr camp
ing grounds of the Indians.
Following his own convictions of
duty as command: r Cpl C'-irrey at once
ordered temporary camps established
at points known to be winter camping
grounds for Indians.'. These were
Camp Polk, near th& confluence of
Crooked river with Deschu ts, Camp
Currey, on Silver Creek, Camp Wright
on Silvles river and Camp Alvord, at
the southern base of Steins mountain
all In the Harney Lake country
Camp Bruneau on Snake rler, Camp
Three Forks on Owyhee river and
Camp Colfax, on Willow Creek above
Malheur City. . . -,
While this movement was expsnsive
and also hazardous for the troops, it
was even more hazardous for the hos
tile Indians. - -' . - '
Gen. Geo. Crook, who succeeded Col.
Currey In command, sejlng the effect
of tha: first winter campaign, approv
ed the plan and followed it up until
settlements of whites around those
camps were soon able to protect them,
selves and the hostiles were gathered
upon' reservation which have since
bten opened to settlement,
The clipping referred to above was
written1 at Vancouver barracks late
in June, and follows: ' ,
