  • William Henderson Packwood Holds a Unique Place in Oregon History As the Youngest Participant of Oregon's Constitutional Convention of 1857
    William Packwood (1832-1917) by Gary Dielman William Henderson Packwood holds a unique place in Oregon history as the youngest participant of Oregon's Constitutional Convention of 1857. This mostly self-educated pioneer became one of Oregon's most versatile entrepreneurs. His occupations included soldier, Indian fighter, miner, cattle rancher, merchant, ditch and road builder, ferry owner, and public servant. He was a founding father of two Baker County mining boom towns—Auburn and Sparta. He is also the great-grandfather of Oregon former Senator Robert Packwood. William and Johanna Packwood, ca. 1870. Packwood was born October 23, 1832, near Mount Vernon, Illinois. The family settled in Sparta for a while and then, when he was fourteen, moved to Springfield, where Packwood clerked in a store, often meeting Abraham Lincoln on his way to work. In 1848, just before his sixteenth birthday, Packwood convinced his father and the army to allow him to enlist. In the summer of 1849, Packwood's company escorted a general and his retinue from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, to Sacramento, California. The following year, Packwood was posted to Fort Vancouver. As he sailed from San Francisco to Washington Territory, the schooner Lincoln ran aground in a storm off Coos Bay January 3, 1852. The ship was wrecked, but all aboard made it ashore at the future site of Empire, where Packwood first set foot on Oregon soil. After Packwood's discharge from the army in September 1853, he worked packing, mining, and cattle ranching on the Coquille River. In 1855, Packwood was commissioned as captain of a volunteer company charged with putting down a Rogue River Indian uprising in southeastern Oregon.

  • The 1855-1856 Oregon Indian War in Coos County, Oregon
    The 1855-1856 Oregon Indian War in Coos County, Oregon: Eyewitnesses and Storytellers, March 27, 1855 – August 21, 1856 Report by Dr. Bob Zybach, Program Manager Oregon Websites and Watersheds Project, Inc. Prepared for Coquille Indian Tribe Tribal Historic Preservation Office – Cultural Resources Program May 15, 2012 The 1855-1856 Oregon Indian War in Coos County, Oregon: Eyewitnesses and Storytellers, March 27, 1855 – August 21, 1856 This is the documented, and nearly forgotten, story of the systematic “ethnic cleansing” of the Coos, Coquille, Chetco, Umpqua, and Rogue River watersheds of southwest Oregon during the 10-month period from October 1855 through July 1856. Coos County had been created in December 1853, and Curry County was subsequently subdivided from Coos County in December 1855, during time described in this report. In August 1857, the Oregon State Constitution was written by representatives from the Territorial counties in existence at that time. In February 1859, Oregon became a State, and in April 1861, the first battle of the Civil War took place. These are not unrelated events, but they are rarely acknowledged and are poorly understood as a result. This report is an effort to provide a better understanding of the people and circumstances that were involved in the Oregon (or “Rogue River”) Indian War of 1855-1856, and to place them in better context to subsequent State and national histories. This story is entirely told through the eyewitness accounts of more than three dozen participants and observers, and through the subsequent writings of three early historians; each of whom was alive at that time, personally interviewed many of the key people and local residents that were involved, and subsequently wrote books on these topics that remain standard references -- although nearly unknown – to the present time.

  • Research Guide on Snake River Ferries
    Research Guide on Snake River Ferries Created by SHRA: January 2017 Introduction to Research Guide The history of ferry crossings and pioneer travel throughout Idaho’s Snake River region is rich and highly relevant to Idaho’s transportation history and development. The Snake River historically could be a fast and fierce river that made fording or wading across it nearly impossible. As a result, ferry boats and ferry crossings emerged as the primary means of crossing the Snake River from the mid-1800s through the early-to-mid 1900s. Before the era of bridges and automobiles, pioneers and settlers established ferries at narrow stretches of the Snake River to transport goods, people, livestock, wagons, and later, automobiles from one bank to the other. In the summer of 2016, the Idaho Transportation Department (hereinafter referred to as ITD) contracted with Stevens Historical Research Associates (hereinafter referred to as SHRA) to locate primary and secondary source materials on Snake River ferry locations within ITD’ District 3 boundary. This update emerged as part of mitigation work necessitated by ITD’s replacement of the historic Loveridge Bridge located on the border of Owyhee and Elmore Counties in section 33 of Township 5 South, Range 6 East, and section 4 of Township 6 South, Range 6 East (legal description references will hereafter be formatted thus: T6SR6E). Although ITD’s District 3 includes ten counties – Valley, Boise, Gem, Elmore, Owyhee, Ada, Canyon, Payette, Washington, and Adams Counties – the Snake River only crosses through or touches seven of them, and therefore, this updated portion of this reference series only reflects the ferry history of the Snake River Region within District 3.

  • Remembering 1857
    RALPH JAMES MOONEY* Remembering 1857 “We the people of the State of Oregon to the end that Justice be established, order maintained, and liberty perpetuated, do ordain this Constitution.”1 hat a time it must have been! Statehood! To become fully Wparticipating citizens of the young and growing nation. To select their own government officials, replacing unpopular presidential appointees from elsewhere. Perhaps even to become such an official—governor of the new state, supreme court justice, or even U.S. senator. On August 17, 1857, sixty elected delegates—thirty-three farmers, eighteen lawyers, five miners, two newspaper editors, and a civil engineer—met in Salem to draft a constitution for what they hoped would become the thirty-third American state.2 All were recent arrivals—primarily from New England and New York; from Old Northwest states like Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa; or from “border” states 3 like Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee. * Kaapcke Professor of Law, University of Oregon. My thanks to Audrey Walther for exemplary research assistance. 1 OR.

See THE OREGON CONSTITUTION AND PROCEEDINGS AND DEBATES OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION OF 1857, at 483–84 (Charles Henry Carey ed., 1926) [hereinafter THE OREGON CONSTITUTION AND PROCEEDINGS].

  • John Rand.” the New Partnership of Johns and Rand Lasted No Longer Than a Few Years
    John Langdon Rand, 1861-1942 by Gary Dielman Attorney John Langdon Rand capped off a distinguished thirty-five-year legal career in Baker City with twenty-one years on the Oregon Supreme Court. He died in office November 19, 1942, and is buried in Mt. Hope Cemetery in Baker City. Rand was born October 28, 1861, in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. His parents, John Sullivan Rand and Elvira Wallace Odiorne Rand, could trace their ancestors back to the first settlers of New Hampshire in the early 1600’s. The Odiorne family owned land at Odiorne’s Point that juts out into Portsmouth Harbor and was the site of the first cabin built in New Hampshire in 1623. The Rand side of the family arrived in 1633. John and Elvira raised six children on their farm: Jasper Charles (1860-1925), John Langdon (1861-1942), Luella Elvira (1863-1934), Irving Wallace (1866-?), Charles Benjamin (1869-1954), and Henry (1873-?). John Langdon Rand John Langdon Rand was named for New Hampshire Governor John Langdon (1741- 1819), who was a ship’s captain in his early 20’s and soon had his own small fleet of ships. He was a member of the First Continental Congress and actively resisted the British during the American Revolution. Langdon served two separate terms as governor before being elected in 1789 to the U.S. Senate as the Granite state’s first senator. After retiring from the Senate in 1801, he served two more terms as governor. Rand attended Smith Preparatory School in Portsmouth followed by four years at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, the ninth oldest college in the U.S.
