Chinese Massacre Cove
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chinese Massacre Cove is an area along the Snake River in Wallowa County, Oregon, United States. It is located in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest and the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area, upriver from the Snake's confluence with the Imnaha River.[1]
In 1887 in Oregon's Hells Canyon on the Snake River a gang of at least four white men robbed, murdered and mutilated 31 Chinese men.[2] Three people were brought to trial but none was ever convicted.[3] The area was named Chinese Massacre Cove in 2005.[4]
