Mullan's detailed "topographical memoir" is composed of correspondence by himself, Colonel Wright, Lieutenant Colonel E.J. Steptoe, and other American military leaders who participated in the battles with the Spokane, Coeur d'Alene, and Pelouze Indians at Four Lakes and Spokane Plains. The last three pages record distances between various points in the Pacific Northwest "on the line of march followed by the military expedition against the northern Indians under Colonel G. Wright."
