William Parkhurst Winans was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey on January
28,1836, one of eight children born to Jonas Wood Winans and Sarah Stiles. W.P
Winans’s ancestry can be traced to the Revolutionary War in the figure of one
Isaac Winans (1710-1780), who served as a member on the committee of public
safety. Isaac Winans died after being imprisoned by the British.
In 1859 W.P. Winans journeyed westward from Springfield, Illinois,
arriving at the Umatilla River in Oregon in September of that year. He worked
as a warehouseman and schoolteacher in the winter of 1860-1861, and was a clerk
of the first Oregon election in 1860. In July of 1861 he moved to Fort
Colville, Washington, where he was appointed deputy county auditor of Spokane
County before becoming auditor in 1862. During this period Winans’s career
followed parallel paths in business and government. He was appointed clerk for
the United States district court comprising Spokane and Missoula counties,
serving under Judge E.P. Oliphant. Winans’s owned a general store when in 1866
he was elected county superintendent of schools. In 1867, 1868 and 1871, he
represented Stevens County in the Washington territorial legislature. A
significant part of Winans’s career began in 1870, with his appointment as
Sub-Indian Agent of the six non-treaty tribes in the Colville region that had
declined to make peace with the Federal government. It was in this capacity
that, in 1872, he successfully argued against the directive of President Grant
that would have given the Colville Valley Indian tribes areas in Stevens County
where white settlers had previously established themselves under laws
associated with "pre-emption" and homestead rights. This decision caused a
great deal of controversy at the time. W.P. Winans was married to Lydia (or
Lidia) Moore (d. 1876) in 1868 or 1869, and to Christine McRae in 1879.
In 1874 Winans moved from Colville to Walla Walla, entering into the
mercantile firm of Johnson, Rees & Co. (later Rees, Winans & Co.) He
traveled widely in Europe during this period and had local interests in
farming, merchandising, freighting, and banking. He was also active in civic,
church, and business affairs, serving in the latter capacity as a member of the
board of directors of First National Bank of Walla Walla and as President of
Farmer’s Savings Bank from 1890 until 1917. William Parkhurst Winans died on
April 22, 1917.
The archive of William Parkhurst Winans consists of business and government records,
diaries and correspondence, and manuscripts on church matters and Stevens County
(Washington) history. Also included are clippings, photographs, maps, memorabilia,
and miscellaneous material.
The business records show cartage rates (wagon freighting) for the Pacific Northwest,
prices for goods, rates and patterns of commodities consumption, freight routes,
stock inventories, and banking and investment information for the Walla Walla
region.
The church material chiefly centers on the First Presbyterian Church of Walla Walla,
and includes both printed and manuscript records.
The material relating to the history of Stevens County, Washington, consists of the
letters- first-hand accounts, observations, and reminiscences- that Winans acquired
in the course of gathering information and resources for an unpublished typescript
titled
Stevens County, Washington: Its Creation, Addition, Subtraction and
Division (1904). A notable item here is a 6-leave holograph document
from the Fall of 1897 that purports to be an eyewitness account of the Whitman
Massacre, as told by a Mrs. Delaney (formerly Matilda Sager) to P.M. Winans. The
prominent frontier historian Frederick Jackson Turner urged Winans to preserve his
diaries because they would provide future historians with invaluable primary source
material on the details of pioneer life in the Pacific Northwest.
The Indian material dating from Winans’s period as Sub-Indian Agent is significant. A
noteworthy item is an 1870 census of the Indian tribes in northeastern Washington
(Territory), including the Okanagans, Calispels (or Pend’ Oreilles), San Poils and
Nespelems, Senijexsees or Lakes, Wenatchees and Isle d'Pierres, Mishouies, Spokanes,
and the Swielpees (or Colvilles). This material includes detailed verbatim reports
on speeches given by chiefs in tribal councils, descriptions of the social and
economic situation of the region’s tribes, and notes on how the Indians viewed white
people and white society.
The Native American material dating from Winans’s period as Sub-Indian Agent is
significant. A noteworthy item is an 1870 census of the Indian tribes in
northeastern Washington (Territory), including the Okanagans, Calispels (or Pend’
Oreilles), San Poils and Nespelems, Senijexsees or Lakes, Wenatchees and Isle
d'Pierres, Mishouies, Spokanes, and the Swielpees (or Colvilles). This material
includes detailed verbatim reports on speeches given by chiefs in tribal councils,
descriptions of the social and economic situation of the region’s tribes, and notes
on how Native Americans viewed white society. In 2022, Sue Richart of the Stevens
County Historical Society, in her study of the diaries found in box 9, noted that
W.P. Winans appears to have done banking in Stevens County in the 1870s. Native
American individuals such as Quil Quil Loui, Salmon Chief, Narcis, Tonasket,
Sorresto “Ind”, and Casimere “Ind” are mentioned in the records, as are the surnames
Peone and Abrahamson. A spreadsheet with dates, names, and monetary amounts is
available upon request.
