The Battle of Peaceful Lake - September 1, 1845
During Oregon's settlement, rising tensions between the pioneers and the indigenous people of the region erupted in a battle at Peaceful Lake. As a group of peaceful tribesmen moved east, pioneers attacked, believing them warriors. They chased the indigenous people along the river and toward Peaceful Lake, killing several and injuring many. Once they caught up to the tribe and realized their error, they retreated in shame, leaving the wounded behind.
