Ground Marker on Officers Row | Additional Description:
A Healthy Environment
Vancouver was praised for its moderate and healthful climate compared to many military posts around the West. Relatively few viruses, fevers, cholera or other infections that commonly raged through military camps afflicted the garrison here. Dr. Glisan, stationed in Oregon Territory in the 1850’s, considered his military obligations easy work, providing him ample time to admister to the settlers of the area for additional fees.
