Wright was engaged in a punitive military expedition against the Yakama, Palouse, Spokane and Coeur d'Alene tribes after their defeat of a force under Lieutenant Colonel Edward Steptoe in May. After warriors attacked Wright's camp, he counterattacked and the battle lasted about four hours. The Native Americans were driven off with heavy losses.
