Washington Territory's first governor remains as controversial today as he was to his frontier contemporaries during the Pacific Northwest's most turbulent era -- the mid-1850s. Indian wars, martial law, and bitter political disputes, as well as the establishment of a new, sound governmental system, characterized Isaac I. Stevens' years as governor (1853-1857). History professor Kent Richards counters the popular misconception that Stevens acted with haste in forcing treaties on regional tribes, thus precipitating hostilities in 1855. Richards argues that this was in fact not the case, with the possible exception of the Flathead Council. An 1839 West Point graduate, Stevens pursued an exciting and useful career for his country, being as much at ease on horseback in the wilderness as in the halls of government at the nation's capital. In addition to serving as Washington's territorial governor, Superintendent of Indian Affairs, and, eventually, delegate to the U.S. Congress, Stevens also distinguished himself in the Mexican War, the Coast Survey, and as head of the Northern Pacific transcontinental railroad survey. In the early years of the Civil War, he was appointed a major general in the Union Army. Dying as flamboyantly as he had lived, Stevens was stricken down in 1862 while charging with banner in hand toward rebel fortifications on the same battlefield where his son lay wounded. Cut short in mid-career, Stevens nonetheless left an indelible mark on the destiny of the nation's great Northwest region.
