I'll try this again. I finally found the article I was talking about, with reference to the Methodists and their influence on the early days of Wasco Co. If this was Ft. Henrietta, I don't remember ever reading that. This article also doesn't mention it by that name, but maybe it was. This is a pretty good article about what I think is a pretty interesting tidbit of history -- both Methodist history and Wasco Co. Here's the URL. Go down the page to the second article.

Thank you, Cheri. Great stories on that site. Lois in CA
Yes Cheri, Thanks so much for your time invested. I traveled to Hood River and Heppner, OR last summer searching the canyons for Butter Creek and Pine City just west of Echo, and my John Jackson GALLOWAY sheep ranch. He was a circuit riding Methodist Minister. I always wondered why he settled in that area. At the wonderful new Native American Cultural Center near Wildhorse Casino outside of Pendleton, OR, I saw the maps with Ft. Henrietta which was a Jason Lee and Methodist site. The Galloways and Hales married into the FUDGE line in Waitsburg where the Fudges started a United Brethren church and school. I have learned from the great websites people have sent that is associated with the Methodists too. I believe that 100 people came west to start the new UB churches. My trip included the gorgeous museum with surround sound, huge rock walls that felt like you were in a canoe on the Gorge. It is located just off the freeway past Pendleton, Oregon. At Tamastslikt Cultural Institute, discover the story of the Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla Tribes three distinct peoples melded together over the past 150 years in an alliance now called the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. http://www.easy-finder.com/brochures/wildhorse/cultural.htm Wildhorse (motel next door to Tamastslikt) http://www.ohwy.com/or/w/wildhogr.htm Laura in Seattle -----Original Message----- From: Cheri [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2000 10:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Methodist Mission & Ft.
