Lewis and Clark Expedition
It was on September 20, 1805 that the Lewis and Clark Expedition were saved from the brink of starvation by the Nez Perce Indians in the Present-day Weippe Prairie. It was the Camas root and dried fish that no doubt saved them. The Camas root made up a good portion of Nez Perce diet. Not to different from the potatoes that are being harvested here in the Baker City Valley.

1848 Quote
August 15th- East valley of Powder River is a spacious plain, very level, and would be as handsome a valley as my foot ever trode upon, were it covered with the rich grasses of the eastern states.
