Rosalia museum will feature battle display

Budding Rose Art Gallery will have a display in honor of the 160th Anniversary of the Steptoe (Tohotonimme) Battle of 1858.

The display includes a 4x3 foot enlargement of Colonel Steptoe’s May, 1858 Post Return report to Fort Walla Walla following the battle. The return, retrieved in 2008 by an intern for Sen. Cathy McMorris Rodgers at the Army Heritage & Education Center Archives in Carlisle, Pa., includes names of officers, soldiers and supporting staff of their status of either wounded, killed in action, returned to fort or deserted, according to Diane Nebel.
