Dr. Richard H. Lansdale settled on Whidby Island, Washington Territory in 1852. He was justice of the peace for Lewis County and practiced medicine until appointed Indian agent by Governor Stevens. In 1855, he and James Doty were sent to eastern Washington to arrange for a general council of Indians, which was held at Walla Walla in May. Later, under James W. Nesmith, he was placed in charge of Indian affairs for the Flathead district in eastern Washington.
