I ordered this book for my cousin (age 95) as she is a great historian and reader. Her mother was a genealogist, and provided me with much information in researching our families. Even though they came across the trail in 1853, I thought the experience might be similar. So, for those of you who haven't gotten the book yet, and those of you who have... I thought you would enjoy her comments. "I'm already at Laramie on the way to Oregon -- thank you for the great selection of records of 1851 on the trail. This is really a fine thing to assemble -- so many details of the trip, in a pattern I haven't exactly seen (limited reader, eh?) before. Maybe others are choked with footnotes? Or ever-edited? Or I'm recalling badly. Anyway, I like this, and thank you every time I read more pages. "Don't we wish sometimes that our families had been more literate? I've never heard any mention of one keeping a journal or writing "recollections" and the few surviving letters are only of the essentials...those Govers & Palmers were just *so* practical." Now, Skip, you need to know the above came from a "frequent" contributor of articles to the Oregonian and other publications, back in the day. So, high praise, I'd say.

At long last??my manuscript is in print! I?ve called the book, On the Oregon Trail in 1851 - Canaries, Buffalo-Chips, and Elephants. The title recalls the delightful distractions, the distasteful drudgery, and the dangerous disasters experienced by those brave souls who made that 2,000 mile trek across the continent. Although I?ve had to cut the size almost in half to suit the publisher, it?s still 456 pages long and includes a twenty-eight page, double column, comprehensive Index, an extensive bibliography, as well as a list of the 122 original Trail documents I?ve collected related to 1851, including their repositories.

He is no longer living so I can't verify any of the facts but he was pleased and the sites were located and markers placed. Preceding Clifton's use of the magnetometer the Philip Foster Farm was having a archeological study done in 1992 funded by U of O using an archeologist from Mt Hood Community College. I am out of state so I can't access any of the details in the report but sites that had been disturbed were identified. They located a pre-contact site as well as old buildings,and wells. Also identified another disturbed site that we have left unresearched due to time and funds.

To otherwise find small news items about our small town in The Oregonian would be very difficult. In fact, I just found that in October 1912, "Junction City had 12 1/2 blocks of paved streets. . . The population is only 850. Junction City is the smallest city in the state with the same amount of paved streets." Now where else would I find that? In Oregon the only newspapers they have are in Portland and Eugene. Seriously though, if you have time to do extensive research, subscribe for only one month and see if you feel it is worth it. Worth is different to each researcher. Linda VanOrden, President Junction City Historical Society LinLouVan at aol.com In a message dated 1/30/2011 6:54:46 A.M.
