Willamette River as Today's featured article (Views: 11,307)
editThe Willamette River is a major tributary of the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest of North America. The Willamette's main stem is 187 miles (301 km) long, lying entirely in northwestern Oregon in the United States. Flowing northward between the Oregon Coast Range and the Cascade Range, the river and its tributaries form the Willamette Valley, which contains two-thirds of Oregon's population. The state's largest city, Portland, surrounds the Willamette's mouth at the Columbia. Due to prolific rainfall in the basin and sediments from the glacial Missoula Floods, the Willamette Valley is one of the most fertile agricultural regions in North America, and was thus the destination of many 19th-century pioneers traveling west along the Oregon Trail. Since 1900, more than 15 large dams and many smaller ones have been built in the Willamette's drainage basin. They are used primarily to produce hydroelectricity, to maintain reservoirs for recreation, and to prevent flooding. The river and its tributaries support 60 fish species, including many species of salmon and trout; this is despite the dams, other alterations, and pollution (especially on the river's lower reaches).

Natchez revolt as Today's featured article (Views: 11,544)
editThe Natchez revolt was an attack by the Natchez people on French colonists near present-day Natchez, Mississippi, on November 29, 1729. The Natchez and French had lived alongside each other in Louisiana for more than a decade. After a period of deteriorating relations, the Natchez were provoked to revolt when the French colonial commandant, Sieur de Chépart, demanded land from a tribal village near Fort Rosalie (pictured). They plotted an attack over several days and concealed their plans from most of the French. In an armed massacre on the fort and homesteads by the Mississippi River, they killed 230 of the 250 French colonists and burned the fort and homes to the ground. Upon hearing news of the revolt, French leaders in New Orleans feared a broader Native American uprising and ordered an attack on the Chaouacha people, who were not involved in the revolt. Over the next few weeks, French leaders sent two expeditions to besiege the Natchez and recover hostages. Most of the Natchez attackers escaped and sought refuge with other tribes, but their revolt had been a significant setback to the Louisiana colony, and the French retaliation led to the end of the Natchez as an independent people.

Trout Creek Mountains as Today's featured article (Views: 20,715 across all platforms)
editThe Trout Creek Mountains are a Great Basin range in Oregon and Nevada in the United States. Oriented generally north–south, the mountains consist mostly of fault blocks of basalt, while the southern end has granitic outcrops. Overall, the faulted terrain is dominated by rolling hills cut by canyons. Most of the range is federal land, and there is little human development, apart from cattle ranching. The public land, dominated by big sagebrush and desert grasses, is open to recreation but is rarely visited. Sage grouse and mountain chickadee are two native bird species, and pronghorn and jackrabbit are common mammals. Despite a dry climate, rare Lahontan cutthroat trout persist in a few streams after declining for much of the 20th century. In the 1980s, the effects of grazing on riparian zones and fish led to land-use conflict. The Trout Creek Mountain Working Group was formed in 1988 to resolve disagreements among ranchers, environmentalists, government agencies, and other parties. Stakeholders agreed on changes to land-use practices, and since the early 1990s, riparian zones have begun to recover. (Full article...)
