Special train fares, the Pacific Hotel, and lively events like a ball were arranged to impress visitors, including the national commander. Daniel K. Oliver, a Spokane pioneer and veteran, played a key role, as did his wife in the GAR’s women’s auxiliary. Scheduled for April 25–26, this encampment brought together veterans from across Washington, fostering camaraderie and community under the leadership of state commander J.W. Sprague — whose name still lives on in a local street. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
