- The_Dalles_Military_Road abstract "The Dalles Military Road, also known as The Dalles – Boise Military Wagon Road, was a mid-19th century wagon road surveyed and barely built by The Dalles Military Road Company between 1868 and 1870. To qualify for government land grants, the company was supposed to build a wagon road from The Dalles, Oregon to Fort Boise in Idaho. However, the company's road, on which it spent about $6,000 and for which it received nearly 890 square miles (2,300 km2) of public land, consisted largely of existing wagon roads and rudimentary trails. In particular, the company took credit for building a well-traveled and pre-existing wagon road between The Dalles and Canyon City, Oregon. It also built a road from Canyon City to the Oregon-Idaho border near Vale, Oregon. The claims of a good wagon road were greatly exaggerated. These claims involved not only the company but Oregon officials, including the governor.The road was used by wagons pulled by oxen or mules to haul food and other supplies to military forts and stations spaced every 30 miles or so along the route. In 1990, it was still possible to travel nearly the entire length from Canyon City to near Brogan, Oregon, (where the route becomes Highway 26), in a stout 4 wheel drive , tall vehicle. The traces you can still see show the hurried building and poor planning. Steep grades, large rocks, poor water, and swampy areas all contributed to a rough trail. Most of the road is still used by ranchers, fishermen and hunters, however our modern 4 wheel drive vehicles are much better suited to the Rocky climbs and dry stretchs. Not much is left of any of the forts east of Canyon City. After the need for the road diminished and then numerous lawsuits, the company went bankrupt and abandoned it to the elements.Public discontent with the fraud, the road, the land grants, and the way the grant lands were re-sold and managed led to a Federal lawsuit about 20 years later. In the suit, the U.S. Attorney General argued that the land had been privatized through fraud and should be returned to the public domain. The suit was dismissed in 1893, when the U.S. Supreme Court agreed with lower courts that since Oregon's governor had certified the road as authentic and complete in 1870, the grants were valid and could not be reversed.".
