Marie Dorion, an Iowa Indian who came through this area with Wilson Price Hunt's fur trappers in 1811, endured an extraordinary winter here in 1814. She and her two infant children were the sole survivors of a mid-January clash with Bannock Indians at John Reid's fur trade post 6 miles west of here. They then had to set out with two horses on a 200-mile retreat through deep mountain snow before a Columbia River band of Walla Walla Indians finally rescued them in April.
