  The soldiers here were involved in some of the most desperate Indian conflicts on the Western frontier including the Battle of Frenchtown, The Battle at Steptoe Butte, Colonel George Wright's Expedition, and the Battle of Whitebird Canyon part of the Nez Perce Indian War with Chief Joseph's Band. Veteran's of these expeditions are buried here along with other personel of the Fort which was decommissioned as an Army base in 1910. http://www.interment.net/data/us/wa/wallawalla/ftwalla/fort_walla.htm
