Historical references on fisheries in the Yakima Basin

Early Accounts of the Yakima Basin

On October 17, 1805, Lewis and Clark explored the mouth of the Yakima River at Bateman Island. Clark's journals refer to it as the Tapteel, and he noted the abundance of salmon, many dead, the absence of trees larger than willows, and the tribal fishing camps and drying racks on the BAteman Island.

Alexander Ross also briefly mentions the Yakima River in 1811, noting "About twelve miles up, a small river entered on the west side, called Eyakema. The landscape at the mouth of the Eyakema surpassed in picturesque beauty anything we had yet seen." CITATION http://columbiariverimages.com/Regions/Places/yakima_river.html

In 1853, Theodore Winthrop travelled from Port Townsend to the Dalles. His 1862 book about the voyage, titled The Canoe and the Saddle: Adventures Among the Northwestern Rivers and Forests, describes his travels the Little Naches and Naches watersheds to the Wenas Valley and then the Ahtanum Mission, before heading south over the Simcoe Mountains.
