WHITMAN\, WALLA WALLA'S FIRST MAYOR DESCRIPTION:Walla Walla in the 1860s was a boom town with a wide range of adventures available vigilantes\, rough and tumble fights\, midnight hangings\, and many people stopping for supplies as they passed through on their way to the gold fields in Idaho's Orofino and Boise Basin. E.B. Whitman\, first mayor of Walla Walla\, can tell you of those times. After marrying and having two sons in Boston\, Whitman left for California to seek his fortune in the gold fields in 1850.
