Apr. 28—While not as well-known as Haller s Defeat or the Battle of Union Gap, Yakama warriors and their allies clashed with soldiers in a battle along Satus Creek in 1856.
The battle could be considered a draw, as both the Native warriors and the militia volunteers from Oregon withdrew from the field after taking relatively light casualties.
A talk on an all but forgotten Edenderry family, the Bennetts of Monasteroris, will be given by Rhode native and New York resident Danny Leavy on Friday, May 19.
