Fort Simcoe, Washington Territory
Many western forts were built due to problems with the Native American tribes. Fort Simcoe was no exception. The Yakama, Cayuse, and others had been harassing white settlers in what would become south-central Washington State. Fort Simcoe was probably one of the shortest lived forts due to quick settlement of hostilities.

Horses and Other Heroes
As a western fan, I am often amazed at the diversity of the ‘western’ experience that each person claims to have inspired them to love either the western lifestyle or the genre. As a young 40-ish author, I have been inspired by my early upbringing in a farming community, and my exposure to B western greats. Others are entranced by the clothing, the music, the hardware, or the appeal that a sunset holds for them.<br>
