Northern Utah was in many ways a Crossroads long before the emigrants, settlers, railroad and military came here. As early as pre-Fremont Native Americans, we find evidence of trails and trade routes across this geographic area. The trappers and traders, both English and American, knew the area and crisscrossed it following many of the Native American trails. They also established new routes. Explorers sought additional routes to avoid natural barriers such as the mountains and the Great Salt Lake. As emigrants and settlers traveled west, knowledge of the area spread. The Crossroads designation was permanently established once the Railroad spanned the nation.

  • The Oregon to California Trail

    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.
  • The Donner Party & Donner Summit

    The Donner Party & Donner Summit

    January, 2017 issue #101 The Donner Party & Donner Summit - Part II 170 Years Ago This Month Occasionally at the DSHS we get queries about the Donner Party . Some people want to come visit the museum to learn about the Donner Party. That’s one of the hazards of being the Donner Summit Historical Society. Last month we opened this series with Part I which was an introduction. In the coming few months we'll see what was happening, regarding Donner Summit, 170 years ago. Donner Summit is most well-known for the Donner Party even though half of the party was down at Donner Lake, miles away and a thousand feet lower in elevation, and the other half, including the Donners, was even further away at Alder Creek. Since the Donner Party was not in the neighborhood so to speak and because there is a fine historical society inTruckee (Truckee Donner Historical Society) we don’t cover the story here on Donner Summit. The saga has been covered in numerous books, stories, and videos. What could we possibly have to offer? Then too, we have so many stories here, being the most significant historical spot in California and maybe in the entire Western U.S. It turns out, after thinking about it, that there is something relevant to Donner Summit to offer. The Donner Party did have a connection to Donner Summit or rather half did – the half who escaped the tragedy or were rescued from the tragedy. They all went over Donner Pass and some of the more dramatic episodes took place on Donner Summit: the escape of the Forlorn Hope, Starved Camp, the four rescue parties, the heroism of John Stark, and the end of Charles Stanton.

    A History of Morgan County, Utah Centennial County History Series

    610 square miles, more than 90 percent of which is privately owned. Situated within the Wasatch Mountains, its boundaries defined by mountain ridges, Morgan Countyhas been celebrated for its alpine setting. Weber Can- yon and the Weber River traverse the fertile Morgan Valley; and it was the lush vegetation of the pristine valley that prompted the first white settlers in 1855 to carve a road to it through Devils Gate in lower Weber Canyon. Morgan has a rich historical legacy. It has served as a corridor in the West, used by both Native Americans and early trappers. Indian tribes often camped in the valley, even long after it was settled by Mormon pioneers. The southern part of the county was part of the famed Hastings Cutoff, made notorious by the Donner party but also used by Mormon pioneers, Johnston's Army, California gold seekers, and other early travelers. Morgan is still part of main routes of traffic, including the railroad and utility lines that provide service throughout the West. Long known as an agricultural county, the area now also serves residents who commute to employment in Wasatch Front cities.

    An Act of Survival A Portrait of California Pioneer Andrew Kelsey - Et al. “The ‘49ers Edward Curtis Down through the ages, the unanticipated actions of ordinary folk inevitably influence key historic events in unimagined ways. During California’s Gold Rush Era and beyond, Andrew Kelsey and his brothers were that sort of influence on events of the day. Their actions and consequence still reverberate throughout the State of California, one hundred and seventy years later. Daniel Boone’s Dream In 1799, Kentucky’s legendary frontiersman Colonel Daniel Boone and his extended family left their beloved Appalachia and emigrated to the Missouri Territory. Many followed his lead. Boone’s eyes were on North America’s far western wilderness, and he so wanted to go there. Alas, his legs were a generation too old to carry him yonder. The Missouri Territory attr acted many frontiersmen, as it was the primary United States foothold on the continent, west of the Great Mississippi River. At the time, the Mississippi Basin was claimed by European hostiles: France, Britain, and Spain. Missouri was a safe haven, and the primary American corridor past the Mississippi to The Trails of the West. Commons Creative Daniel Boone In 1830, the Kelsey Clan of Barren County, Kentucky , followed Boone’s lead and emigrated to the Missouri Territory. Andrew Kelsey was one of five brothers and six sisters. Andrew’s eldest brother David was a noted veteran of the War of 1812. Andrew’s father Samuel Sr. hails back to the Revolutionary War with Great Grandpa Moses and his patriotic Virginian Scotch-Irish immigrant father John, bearing witness to the birth of America.

    Fiscal Year 2009 annual report October 1, 2008 - September 30, 2009 “You can’t understand America in the 21st century if you don’t understand the Native experience. What connects these five films is the resolve of their characters. This country is founded on people striving, being tenacious and moving forward...this is a look at that, through Native eyes.” — Chris Eyre (Cheyenne & Arapaho Tribe of Oklahoma), Director of Episodes 1-3, We Shall Remain Dear NAPT FrienDs, On behalf of the staff and board, we are pleased to share some of the year’s highlights in our Annual Report Fiscal Year 2009 (October 1, 2008 - September 30, 2009). Since 1977, our work has been built upon the fact that through the sharing of Native media with the world, we can preserve our past, maximize the present and brighten the future for generations to come while symbolizing the importance of culture, family, spirit, mind and body. While our primary business remains delivering high-quality programming to public television and radio stations, we are invested in technology. Through webstreaming, downloadable podcasts, e-newsletters, interactive webpages, webinars, digital media and social media, we have come to the forefront of reaching our audiences. But there is so much more to be learned and so many more lives that we can touch. Native American Public Telecommunications continues to be the premier source of Native audio, video and programming for public broadcasting. This year we’ve brought audiences award-winning documentaries, entertaining radio theater programs, and we’ve seen great success with the AIROS Native Network’s music programs.
