    1. [ORWASCO] The Name Was Olney
    2. Hello Pete, I've been meaning to buy the book "Tha Name Was Olney", by Roscoe Sheller. I had the opportunity to read the first couple pages, but that was it. It's written like a romance novel from what I seen, & has some great history in it. The author sounds as though he was well acquainted with my GGG Grandfather Nathan Olney, but he missed one key factor in the book, Nathan first wed Annette Hallicola's Mother, Ehatinsh or Ahatin. Ehatinsh was widow to Chief Cha-la-let Yakaskiler, of the Wasco tribe, the Chief was also the Father to Annette. Nathan & Ehatinsh had a son, my GG Grandfather, Charles Cyrus Olney, April 24, 1853. Nathan took both women to Yakama Indian Reservation, along with Annete's sister Jeanette. Nathan had a soft spot for widowed women, as he was also briefly married to Mrs. James Sinclair, whose husband, James Sinclair, was with Nathan when he died in battle, in 1857. Can hardly wait to buy the book, thanks for reminding me ; ) All my best to you & yours! Teresa (Spokane,Wa.)
