Temporary marker at junction of Highway 95 and Jacksha Road Item Info

Temporary marker erected by the Moscow Chamber of Commerce in 1931. At this place on June 20, 1855, Governor I.I. Stevens party, consisting of 22 persons and a good-sized pack train, camped for the night, after it left Red Wolf's camp near the site of Lewiston, passed near modern Uniontown, and headed in a northeast direction to the Deeston Spring. Picture shows the trail descending the ridge and swinging in a northeastward direction to meet the Greater Nez Perce Trail at the head of the old camping ground, along which lies the Ti-net-pan-up, or South Palouse River. Trails can be traced by the different aspects or faces of the vegetation covering the trails. Compacting of the sub-soil accounts for this change. Such old and partly obliterated trails can more readily be traced from a distance of a mile or so, than from a few yards.
