M. Orion Monroe, a student at Washington State College (now University), began this project with a paper written for History 22, Frontier History of the United States, in 1915, and published it the following year in the Washington Historical Quarterly.
This collection consists of two typescript versions and the published version of "A Critical Discussion of the Site of Camp Washington" by M. Orion Monroe, with a small amount of related documentation. Camp Washington was the name given to the site where Isaac Stevens and his exploring and surveying parties camped from October 25-30, 1853. The typescript versions include photographs, and the issue of the Washington Historical Quarterly containing the published version (volume VII, number 1, January 1916) includes interleaved related newspaper clippings.
This collection is open and available for research use.
