(061) From a note included by a modern family member: Hunter's exploits included many activities, wagon-master, gold-mining, Indian fighting, Indian Scout for the U. S. Army and ultimately even an entry in politics. At one time he was the Sheriff of Pacific County and became a Colonel in the Militia during the Indian wars in eastern Washington. Ultimately, he became the prime negotiator between the military and the Palouse Indian tribe and because of his facilitating abilities, maintained peace in the area for a number of years.
