[or-roots] Into The Eye of The Setting Sun

Cecil:
 
Your site is very interesting.  I read part of it.  Do you know if there
is anything on a trail from San Francisco to the Oregon/Barlow Trail in
The Dalles, Oregon?  My grgrgrandfather came that route and settled in
Dufur, Oregon.

Now would be a good time to revisit Aunt Charlottes book "Into The Eye
of The Setting Sun".
 
1843 was the year the "great emegration" began to Oregon.  Charlotte
Matheny Kirkwood was one of those who traveled by wagon across the
Oregon Trail to the Wilamette Valley.  Others in that wagon train
included my gr gr grandfather, Nineveh Ford, and his younger brother,
Ephraim Ford.  In the book Charlotte suggests that  Ephraim "took a
likin' to her".
 
Although Walt and I are related, it is not through a union of Charlotte
and Ephriam.
 
Turn on your speakers and go to:
http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~cchouk/oregon_trail/crossing/good
night.htm#x
to read the introduction to the book.  If you're using IE 6.0 the music
will not stop until you turn it off (tool bar near the top of the page).
