Author’s Purpose You Do - A formative assessmentAn excerpt from It Happened in Washington by James CrutchfieldPrior Knowledge: Mullan arrived in The Dalles, on the Columbia Gorge, in order to build the railroad lines.
I regret to report the loss of one of Lieutenant White’s men by drowning while crossing the Snake River.
Mullan and his men labored through the winter of 1859-1860 amidst extremely unfavorable conditions.
On August 1, 1860, however, the Mullan party finally reached Fort Benton, its objective completed.
