This PDF file has the chapter from the book, 'The Early Indian Wars of Oregon' on the Yakima Indian War or 1855/56. This book was published in 1894. This large work was commissioned by the Oregon Legistature by House Concurrent Resolution Number 22 in 1891 to, "cause to be compiled, tabulated, and published, as far as is possible from the material in his possession, a complete record of the early Indian wars of Oregon, including the wars of 1855 and 1856..." Included in the back are the muster rolls of Company D of the 1st Regiment of the Oregon Mounted Volunteers. It was this Company that Supplina Hamilton volunteered into from Linn County, Oregon in October of 1855. His is listed in the muster rolls with his name misspelled (as was so very typical in documents) as Sapplina Hamilton.
