Fort Walla Walla Museum presents "a very eligant white horse"
by nationally acclaimed artist Norman Adams
Limited Edition Print
April 27, 1806 found Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and the Corps of Northwest Discovery on their way home. On this day down the Columbia River below Wallula Gap, they were met once again by Chief Yellept of the Wallah Wallah Indian people, whom they first encountered on October 19, 1805. At that time, the officers gave him a small medal and promised a large one on their return. They proceeded to the chief’s village, which was about 16 miles below the junction of the Snake and Columbia Rivers.Yellept, they noted, was a man of much influence, not only among his own people but also among neighboring groups. His village consisted of 15 large mat lodges.
Meriwether Lewis wrote on April 28, 1806, “This morning early Yellept brought a very eligant white horse to our camp and presented him to Capt. C. signifying his wish to get a kettle but on being informed that we had already disposed of every kettle we could possible spear he said he was content with whatever he thought proper to give him. Capt. C. gave him his sword a hundred balls and powder and some sall articles with which he appeared perfectly satisfyed.”
About the print: "a very eligant white horse" is Norman Adam's interpretation of the historic events that took place more than 200 years ago. The title is taken directly from William Clark's journal in a facsimile of Clark's handwriting. Fort Walla Walla Museum is the sole distributor.
