Witness to History
This is an interesting letter written in 1856 by Reuben Ashford Finnell
from his home in Front Royal, Virginia having witenssed the events during the
preceeding years in Washington Territory. He is writing to his Congressman,
giving his views of the event that took place the year before. Interesting
reading and a glance in to the minds and persons of our Finnell cousins.
Reuben Ashford Finnell the son of Reuben Ellis and Vienna Russell Finnell.
Reuben born in 1826 in Shenandoah Co, VA and died 1915 at Front Royal,
Warren Co, VA. In the early 1850's he sailed around South America to
Washington / Oregon Territory. He served in the Confederate Militia and later
was a County Judge in Warren Co, VA.
Front Royal July 17th 1856
Hon C. J. Faulkuer
Dear Sir
I was pleased to learn from our delegate from Washington
Territory, Col J. P. Anderson that your were favorably disposed
toward the people of Washington and Oregon Territories in the
controversy which has been forced upon them by the very singular
course which General Wool has seen fit to adapt. As I have resided
over two years in a part of Washington Territory which has been the
scene if Indian warfare, Col Anderson seemed to think if I would hold
a conservation with you it might be of advantage to the cause which he
is advocating, but I found from the time which I had allotted to my stay
in Washington and the pressure of business which seemed to be resting
upon your hands that it would be impossible to have the desired
interview, I therefore determined on my arrival among my friends [at
my old home](crossed out) here to embrace the first opportunity to
write you a brief statement of affairs in Washington Territory as they
came under my immediate observation
I shall say but little of Gen. Wool and the tribe of scribblers
under him, and what I have to say on that point is simply that General
Wools opinion of the origin of the War was hastily [formed] (crossed
out) and ineniviusly formed and that a most absent pride of opinion
about the War. The profits of this trade however, they spend in certain
rude games of chance and in horse a ring. These are the Indiana sir that
have brought on the war in Washington and Oregon Territory. The
whites are charged with taking the Indiana land with marching and
plundering, but such things have come under my observation. Most of
the tribes have disposed of large tracts of land by treaty But there in
not a solitary white American settler to my knowledge in the entire
territory claimed by the Klichitat and Yackima Indiana. I have never
heard of one of the Indiana being killed by a white man previous to the
war nor have they even to my knowledge been wronged in any way by
the white man. and I have had as good an opportunity as any other man
of knowing what I state to be the fact. The peaceful thoroughfare of
these Indiana in trading to the same country was by my house and the
neighborhood where I lived was the great trading ground, here they met
in [July and August] (crossed out) summer by hundred and whilst they
carried on their trade and savage commerce they could been upon the
abundance of wild berries and Salmon which that vicinity afforded. In
this way I became imedeatley accounted with the Indiana on the Land
and on both sides of the Cascade mountains.
Now whilst I have shown you that the Indians East of the
mountains had received no possible determent from the whites, I wish
to speak of the advantages which they desire through our means It has
lead them into the decision of all the mis statements and mis
representations which has followed and further I would say in view of
the embarrassment which our delegates Gen, Lane and Co. Anderson
are laboring under growing out of the misrepresentation to which I
have referred that it is a pity and great shame if an entire people
must be crushed and disgraced for the like of bolstering
up the reputation of one individual whose weakness and derelictions
may not be set down so much to the disparagement of any reputation
which he may have acquires in the service of his he my have acquired
in the service of his country, but rather to the weakness and infirmity
of age which may be fast pressing am age veteran to the grave.
Now Sir knowing you from many years by character and being
aware of the confidence reposed in you by your constituents who are
also my relatives. School mates, old acquaintance and the dear friends
of my youth, it is with confidence I make you a judge in this course
between the people of Washington and Oregon Territories and General
Wool, and place my self upon the stand as a Material witness. In regain
to the oath I would say that I am not in the habit of swearing any other
oaths than legal ones and that I feel it is my duly regard my simple say
so, as sacred as an oath administrated in the most solemn form
I have been nearly three years in Washington Territory, and
resided up to the commencement of the warfare over 23 miles East of
Ft Steilacoon on the road leading from that place to Ft Walla Walla.
The tribe living in my Vicinity and which are now hostile were the
Mirguallies, Pauyalups, White and Green rivers Indians. These were
small bands numbering about 150 warriors. Their origin was a cross of
the Klichitat and Paget Sound Indian, and they were governed by petty
chiefs who acknowledged the superior authority of the chiefs and
Kamiaken whom govern the more powerful tribes East of the
mountains. The Klichitats and Yachimas occupy the country on the
Yackaima river and its tributaries on the East side of Cascade
Mountains. These tribes hear the two names I have mentioned but are
really one tribe speaking one language and acknowledging on great
chief (has' tie) That chief is Kamiakin and to him Sir, we must look
for the causes of the war which is now raging in Oregon
and Washington.
The Klichitats and Yackamas are the most murderous, most war
like and influential Indian in the two territories. The great influence of
this people is owing chiefly to three habits, they own great numbers of
horses and have the carrying trade between the numerous tribes of the
fishing Indian one Puget Sound and the populous tribes in Eastern
Oregon, they buy horses of the Cazuse, Flathead and Snake and other
Indian in the east and sell them on the land for blankets and money and
also buy and sell their women with the tribes on the Land and have
thus been able to extend their influence by scattering their blood among
all the p---- tribes to the
The first place our government in building the military roads from Ft
Scitacoona to Ft Walla Walla offered for these Indian an easy outlet
form the Yockica Co to the sound and wishes before they had to climb
treatrus trails over frightful precipes and drive their hardened animals
before then they have now a good wide road and I have heard them
express their gratification by saying that once they had to walk up hills
but now they could ride all the way across the mountains. Again they
had been greatly benefited in the increased price of their property
After the Americans Settlers arrived in Puget Sound, their horses
doubled in value and were in very great demand, They also opened
with the whites a new annual very advantages trade and buying of us
many if the comforts of life which they had never enjoyed before they
were also employed in many of kinds of work and were promptly paid.
Luck were the character of complexion of the relations existing between
the whites and Indian of Washington Territory previous to the
commencement of the War.
Now Sir I will speak of the Cause and Commencement of the
war The cause of this Oregon War is the same which has ever
prompted the savage of this continent to oppose the progress of
civilization. It is nothing but the jealousy of an inferior race against the
growth and expansion of a superior one that is the sum and substance
of the matter. Like all savages they naturally have a horror of
civilization and a natural love of their own manner of life the least.
The Klichitat and Yackima Indian brought on this war I have explained
to you the position they occupy among the tribes of Oregon and of their
influence shows evident during the summer of 1855 that there was
some secret movement going on among the Indian. Their conduct was
singular The Klickilets as formerly had been their custom never come
over in large bands for racing and sporting purposes, but the principal
travelling seems to be in the opposite direction. I noticed that the chiefs
of the sound country were frequently travelling over the mountains,
where their objects was evidently for consultation, I will also state that
the Klickilet and Yachima Indian are connected by marriage with the
Walla Walla and other tribes south of the Columbia river and have their
influence in that direction, Subsequent events showed that their was a
complete combination between the Klickilet Yackimas Wala Wallas,
Casa Palons, Ispexere and the tribes I have mentioned before as hostile
and lying between the sound and the mountains and the ball was opened
in the Klicklat country in a manner which can only be contemplated by
enlightened minds with the innermost horror. Gold had been discovered
near Ft Colville and hundreds of Oregon and Washington pioneers were
on their way, not with arms , but with pick and shovel to the mines.
Their course lay through the Klickilates country. They went out in July
and August, but about the first of September some of the mines
returned with constructor stating that their comfarming had been basally
murdered waylaid dogged and shot in the back before they can suspect
any danger and that they had miraculously escaped to tell the tale. I
had an acquaintance Jno P. Lackey that fall in that manner I heard the
name of several others that fall in like manner and that many
individuals all over Oregon and Washington name their friends who
have fallen by the hands of the savage and ruthless assassins It is
supposed that fifty or sixty American citizens fell in this manner, but
from the nature of the circumstances, no one can ever sum up the
terrible total, The numbers of victims can so easily be under the
number named, whilst it may have been much more poraxaphluch
Dear Sir, was the commencement of the Indian war in Oregon and
Washington Territories the circumstances which attended the
commission of these murders and the events which followed show
conclusively that this was intended to be the commencement of a war of
extermination upon the Americans, The chiefs were committed in the
transaction and the Son of nhi was known to be one of the murders, but
to make the thing more certain Mr Bolen, the Indian agent for the
Yackima country went to see the chiefs, to see what was going on he
had no fear for himself for these beings had always professes the
warmest affection for him but what did they do but defy our
government by basally assassinating its agent and their friend. Then the
events which immedidety followed this was the expedition and defeat of
Maj Haller, with which you are acquainted the regression was made by
Maj Barns upon the governors of Oregon and Washington territories for
volunteers The volunteer wee promptly enrolled and these who were
mustered into the service at Ft Lielaeseen were ordered to proceed The
command of Capt Maloney of the Regular army to make a junction
with Maj Rans and the Oregon Volunteers in the Klichital country
Having the recurrence of the event there had been no hostile
demonstrations on the west side of the Cascade mountains in the
vicinity of the Pugent sound settlement The attention of the people of
both territories was directed towards the Klickilate and Yackima
extensively the troops from Lt Cilacoon numbering over two hundred
had crossed the mountains and reached the head waters of Palches river
a tributary of the Yackima when Capt Maloney received advice that
Maj Rnes would not move forward for a fortnight and that he had
better fall back to the west side of he mountains
I had joined the volunteers under Capt G Hays and was with
Capt Maloney in the expedition We fall back and in three days were
again in the settlement but imagine our surprise and horror to find here
in our very homes the torch of war flaming in every direction The
Indian had plotted well The Klickitels were to rise the cry The
soldiers and volunteers were expected to cross the mountains to
Chastise then, and whilst the settlements were left defenseless the
Indian in the settlement would rise and exterminate But the
providence of Jahova intervened in behalf of our infant settlement and
indicted which was not foreseen we were recalled the work of death
and extermination had just commenced
3 sheet July 17th 1856
The settlement on White river had been attached Mr King and his
Family were murdered with the exception of little boy who was kept
as a slave Mr Bramcon, his wife and two children fell and poor Mr
Jones who was lying sick in his bed was murdered there whilst his
heroic lady fought to the last, I was told that she shot one with the rifle
and killed two others with an ax, Their children were saved by the
interposition of a friendly Indian. Col Moses and Jas Miles of the
volunteers who had returned in advance of us with the express had been
killed. Mr McAlister and Mrs Connel also had been killed but the day
of revenge was at hand we met them and fought the battle of White
river The second day after our arrival in the settlement and Thurs they
were shocked in a design which all human probability would have
been successful if we had not arrived in the nick of time to check on
this progress. The Settlement on the east side of the Sound would have
been blotted out The friendly Indians on the Salt Water would have
joined them and Olympia with the settlement as far as the Columbus
River would have been blotted out, and Washington Territory would
have been a chance spot upon the map. That such is not the case, we
owe it as I have told you to the interposition of a Kind Providence.
It was after the recurrence of these events that General Wool
appeared upon the scene. The eyes of all Oregon and Washington were
turned to the old veteran with hope and charming anticipation He was
asked on his way to Oregon where he would make his head quarters his
gallant reply went to the heart of every pioneer in that wild frontier
country He said his head quarters were to be in "in the Saddle". How
he fulfilled that promise the world had already learned I will not dwell
much further upon this history it has been sketched by abler hands I
refer you particularly to a letter written by Governor Stevens to general
Wool and I will say as for as my knowledge entails that letter is true in
its statement of history and is sound in its conclusions
My main object' honored sir. in addressing you is now
accomplished I humbly hope which was simply to show that the people
of Washington and Oregon Territory are not to blame for the existence
of this war But before I closed I wish to make a few reflection upon the
names in which the war has been conducted Thus the war is not
concluded is the fact of General Wool If he had have accepted the
volunteer cooperation the war by this time would have been concluded
But until recently the troops under his command have remained inactive
and he has done every thing in his power to embarrass the operations
of the volunteers.
From what I have told you the Klichitots and Yackimas you
must judge that this can never be regarded as concluded until these two
tribes are Completely whipped but what is the record They number 50
miners killed ________burned and plundered Cascade City and for all
this have never received the first stroke of Chastisement. The Oregon
volunteers fought bravely in Whiteman Valley they gallantly chastised
their allies the Walla Walla The Caruse and Snake Indian But the
Klickitats have never yet up to the latest dates of which I have any
account been defeated in an engagement That retreated from the
cascades after they had destroyed and plundered the town and they had
a slight brush with the Oregon Volunteers when they were returning
from their Campaign on Snake river To show what they think of the
progress of the war thus far Col Wright proposed not long ago to make
peace There answer was that they had the best of the fight thus far and
did not wish for peace. It is even so and such are the tenants which
General Wool receives through his officers in the field on account of
his inactivity.
Luck is the haughty attitude of the Indian but how does it seem
on the other side. I can tell you from personal observation how the
matter stands in Washington Territory, Cascade City in the Territory
her story your have heard I spoke of the murders on White river, that
was in Turen & King County, King County lies destitute this was one
of the most promising counties in the territory every farm house and
barn was swept from its lands. That part of Pierce County where I
reside embracing the Puayalup river country also lies destitute, forming
almost through out the territory has been suspended and the people are
still huddled in the towns and forts, they have not raise their head this
year whilst the six months volunteers that were called last winter will
extend during their term of service the provisions now in the County.
Luck in the state of the farming interest, and the lumber trade which
has been heretofore the chief resource of the country is also from the
most been suspended Luck being the present prospects you with the
power of war an enemy has and the horrid scribblings under General
Wools command you a_ will imagine what are the gloomy foreboding
of the poor emigrant in Washington and has been allowed to his present
position by donations of land and promises of protection form the
general government. The volunteers of Washington and Oregon as well
as these settlers who have furnished supplies are now asking of
necessary through their representives Col Anderson and Gen Lane,
their just dues in money. I am constant to pay for the
people of Washington at last that they will ask Congress this year
for money and if it is not granted next year they will be constrained to ask
for bread!
Now Honored Sir you have my deposition I have spoke facts,
what I have said I trust you will place to the credit of the Pioneer of
Oregon and Washington so again their enemies, As far as I am
concerned the case is now with the council, hear then Gen Lane and
Col Anderson they have the confidence of the people they represent.
And now Sir Hoping that you may even be the advocate of right
and the offenses of wrong. I remain you friend and Obe. servant

of this county, died at the home of his son Orrin, with whom he had
lived in Kansas since 1892. The remains were brought to this county
arriving last week on Monday, the interment being in the old Finnell
[Senour] burying ground on the farm now owned by W. H. Senour
near Walton. The deceased was about 75 years old and a brother of the
late Vardiman Finnell of Verona. When the war began between the
States Mr Finnell was in Missouri, and sympathized with the South,
while his nearest neighbor was a Union man. Mr Finnell never
suspected that he entertained other then the kindest feelings for him,
until the day a squad of Federal soldiers called and arrested him at the
insistance of his neighbor, who had represented to the Federals that he
was a rebel that should be put out of the way. Being under arrest,
Finnell was taken some distance from the house and ordered to advance
and take his position on a stump from which he was to be shot.
Reaching the stump from which he was to be shot, he leaped over it
and ran under fire to a creek which skirted on either side by a dense
undergrowth which in many places obscured the pools of water. In one
of these pools, allowing only his nostrils to protrude, he survived.The
soldiers made a diligent search up and down the creek firing their
muskets into the larger holes for some time but without effect. The
search was abandoned and he joined the noted Quantrill band and
remained there till the war's end.

Even the Smallest Clue
Never overlook even the smallest clue when collecting material
on the family history. The following is a birth announcement found in
some of my Finnell Family papers.
Addressed to Mrs T. J. FINNELL, she is Malinda Anne Wolfe, the
wife of Thomas Jefferson FINNELL. Their daughter Mary Rebecca
FINNELL who married 21 Jan 1904 to Jacob Charles Marshall and in
1915 lived in Minneota, Lyon Co, MN. Their son born 26 Mar 1915
was Joseph Albert Marshall. A small postcard that many of us would
tend to overlook when searching for family data. Don't overlook
anything. If in question take it or make a copy and review it later.

FAMILY MEMBERS OF "NOTE"
From the book The Show Business No Body
Knows; by Earl Wilson, 1971 page 404.
"There was a fat, funny, middle-aged Stripper named Carrie
Finnell who, on behalf of America offered a special nude art form to
connoisseurs. She was a "Tassel-tosser." She wore tassels on her
breasts. By careful study she had learned over the years to make her
breasts rotate either clockwise, counter-clockwise, or both. Carrie
Finnell appeared in some New York Cafe's and in a Broadway show."
The New York Times for Saturday 16 Nov 1963.
Carrie Finnell Morris, one of the Country's widely known burlesque
performers, died yesterday at her home near here. She was 70 years
old. Mrs Morris who performed under her maiden name, was active
until several weeks ago. Her last professional performace was at the
Galaxie Club in New Port, KY. Her husband, Thomas J. Morris died
two weeks ago.
In the early days of Burlesque Miss Finnell was known as "the
girl with the Million doller legs" stemming from her insuring them for
$1 million with Lloyds of London.
But, by the time Broadway theatregoers beheld her in Mike
Todds musical Star and Garter in 1942, she had grown
considerably stouter and had become accomplished in the muscle-control
of her bosoms.
She played night clubs throughout the country. On one occasion,
Miss Finnell observed: "I've never had any objections to my act
because its done for fun. I don't try to put any sex into it."
