Isaac ingalls, Stevens! There's a
name to be remembered forever in
the history of Our Washington
Stevens born in 1918 in Andover,
Mass, was a brilliant military
leader in the Mexican war, and an
engineer as well.
When Washington was created q
territory in 1853, President Frank
lin Pierce named Stevens as gov
ernor of the new territory, with a
triple duty:
/: To survey a route to Wash
ington for q railroad.
2: To make treaties with the In
dams, so that the land could be
opened up for settlement.
3: To set up a stable govern
ment in the wilderness.
All three of these things Stey-
ems did brilliantly. as you will read
in future chapters of this series.
His party of surveyors and army
men numbered 243 men. They
examined the country between the
Mississippi river and Puget Sound,
and found practical railroad
route.
In contrast to Stevens brillisnce
was the failure of his assistant

Sound harbors. Mcclellan failed in
this because of stormy weather.
Just az Stevens great energy
made him successful in all his
undertakings. so did McCellan's
willingness to give up make him
a failure.
Ten years later, Mcclellan was
head of all the Union srmies-but
because he refused to take them
out of Washington to fight the
Confederates, President Lincoln
was forced TO remove Mcclellan

his place.
