The period of study begins when the British owned Hudson’s Bay Company began to farm land in and around Fort Vancouver in 1825, and ends in 1861—during the time when agrarian settlement was beginning to expand east of the Cascade Mountains.

  • The Oregon to California Trail
    Number 109 Fall 2018 The Oregon to California Trail Also Known As The Old Trapper Trail and the Siskiyou Trail By Dee Owens and Richard Silva The Oregon to California Trail, sometimes referred to as the Siskiyou Trail or the Old Trapper Trail, was a trail of commerce from the beginning, one of north and south directions. It was a trail between two territories or countries, British and American to the north and Mexican to the south. It holds the distinction of being the only early trail in northern and central California to have a history of early trapper and animal herding use prior to the main emigration period. It shares this distinction with the trails of the Platt River and other eastern trails. In the north, the trail began at Fort Vancouver, head- quarters of the Hudson’s Bay Company. The current towns of Portland, Salem, Eugene, Grants Pass, and Ashland were near the route in Oregon. In California the trail passed near Yreka, Dunsmuir, Redding and south through the Sacramento Valley to San Francis- Fort Vancouver—1845 co. The Oregon to California Trail developed from early game and Indian trails into a more obvious transporta- tion route due to the large numbers of horses and pack animals in the Hudson’s Bay Brigades going to and from California. Later the demand for animals in the Willamette Valley brought enormous herds of cattle, horses, and sheep over the route, further establishing its presence. The Siskiyou Mountains were first crossed from the south in 1826-27 by the Hudson Bay Company’s Snake Country Expedition, led by Peter Skene Ogden.

RITTER, RICHARD SILVA, TAMMY SULLIVAN, JOHN HITCHCOCK, RICHARD JENKINS, AND CLAUDE SINGLETON In 2000, the Bureau of Land Management, Klamath National Forest, and Northern California Resources Center began a collaborative project to study the Yreka Trail/Pitt River Road, one of the earliest trails to penetrate frontier California. The initial goal of our study was to cast light on the lives of emigrants, soldiers, and others who traversed the trail on their way to the goldfields of the Klamath Mountains, the agricultural settlements of the southern Cascades, and elsewhere. After nearly three years of work, we have learned that the trail’s complex archaeological record has much more to offer than insight on the trail’s earliest travelers. This record contains telling clues to long-term changes in land use and rural living since the mid-1800s. n 2000, the Bureau of Land Management, Klamath This was the account of Alonzo Brown as he traveled INational Forest, California Department of by wagon train to Yreka during the 1850s (quoted in Forestry and Fire Protection, and Northern Arnold 1999:97).

Our State of Jefferson is Old School America A Brief History of The State of Jefferson Written by Gail Jenner United We STAND. Today’s State of Jefferson refers to portions of Southern Oregon and Northern California. Originally this region represented the "second half" or "northern mines" of the famous gold rush of 1849-50, but it never received the kind of historical reference that the Sierra Mother Lode did, even though it contributed as much, if not more, to the coffers of the two states. Moreover, the region was easily overlooked after the gold rush, since it continued to be less populated and more rural than the remainder of the two states. Because the people who have settled along the northern boundary of California and the southern boundary of Oregon have always been of an independent nature, it seems fitting that this region has attempted, on numerous occasions, to create a new state, not just in name or principle, but in reality as well. The principle is not a new one, however, but has its roots in the area’s history. In 1852, a bill to create a new state died in committee. On Dec. 19, 1853, THE DAILY ALTA OF CALIFORNIA of San Francisco suggested that Northern California and Southern Oregon could both benefit if a ‘new state’ could be created. Some suggested it be called ‘Klamath.’ Others suggested the name "Jackson." At a meeting held on January 7, 1854, in Jacksonville, Oregon, Lafayette F.
