Serving Whitman County since 1877

Four albums donated to state parks, Rosalia Library

Four albums which contain the last 20 years of additions and improvements at the Steptoe Battlefield State Park, along with documentation, stories and photos (mostly taken by the late Jim Nebel), have been assembled by Diane Nebel. The albums also contain ongoing efforts to collect the names of 158 members of Lt. Col Edward J. Steptoe's unit of May 17, 1858, which was the date of the battle.

The albums also contain quotes from a book regarding the battle, from the natives side of the story - which has personally described accounts by Chief Joseph Seltice (before, during and after the battle)....
