[or-roots] emigrant diaries

[Trisha Neal]

You are welcome Leonard!  I love that area, but so glad I'm on the coast
where it is cool! :-) I did some "random acts of kindness" projects in Union
County and elsewhere for people who wanted photos of grave sites when I
lived there. Found some really neat small pioneer cemeteries and had a
chance to learn a bit about the pioneers who settled there.  My mother
actually had fun walking the cemeteries with me!
 
One of the neat things about being an historian is being able to post
information online for all to see!  The web took history to another level!
It has certainly helped me in sharing information on my research projects on
my historical web sites as well as gathering information for my historical
research. I've met some great people who happen to be descendants of the
people that I am researching and being able to share my information has been
a lot of fun.
 
Trish

The Grande Ronde Valley and Blue Mountains: Impressions and Experience of
Travelers and Emigrants, The Oregon Trail, 1812-1880," a report by Stephen
Dow Beckham for the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, La Grande, Oregon.
February 16, 1991.  Beckham found his resources from historical societies,
libraries and archives from Oregon, California, Washington, Indiana and
Connecticut.   There are hundreds of entries in the report. I only posted a
few of them on the Umatilla County History web site that did years ago.

There is a Bibliography in the book.  I don't know if the USFS had more
copies printed or not. I managed to get their last copy but I no longer have
it. I gave it to a friend so I am not able to do any look ups. You might
check to see if there are copies available through Inter-Library Loan.

Darlene,
 
I wished I knew, because my (ggg-grandfather) Hanson Stevens family left
Keokuck, Iowa & arrived Howell Prairie/Silverton, Marion Co., Oregon abt.
Oct. 9, 1852.
Same goes for my McCubbins Clan arrived Howell Prairie/Silverton, Marion
Co., Oregon abt. Oct. 9, 1852 from Franklin Co., Missouri.
 
In fact my (ggg-grandfather) James McCubbins's son--Samuel McCubbins married
a daughter of Hanson Stevens--Sarah Ellen Stevens, both pioneer families of
1852. 
 
Please let me know if you find or
anyone else knows of a "travel diary" 
Thanks!  Nancy

James and Eliza Jane Hamlin left Iowa in April and arrived in Oregon in
October of 1852.  Does anyone know of a "travel diary" kept by a fellow
traveler on this trek to the "promised land"?
