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.

Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to analyze the dispersion of architectural types within the Willamette Valley revealed trends amongst the extant settlement architecture samples. Brownsville, Oregon, was identified to have a locally-specific architectural subtype, the closer study of which enabled deeper investigation of the development of architectural landscapes during the Willamette Valley’s settlement period.

III “LIKE NUGGETS FROM A GOLD MINE” SEARCHING FOR BRICKS AND THEIR MAKERS IN „THE OREGON COUNTRY‟ Thesis by Kristin O. Converse ABSTRACT Purpose of the Study: The history of the Pacific Northwest has favored large, extractive and national industries such as the fur trade, mining, lumbering, fishing and farming over smaller pioneer enterprises. This multi-disciplinary study attempts to address that oversight by focusing on the early brickmakers in „the Oregon Country‟. Using a combination of archaeometry and historical research, this study attempts to make use of a humble and under- appreciated artifact – brick – to flesh out the forgotten details of the emergence of the brick industry, its role in the shifting local economy, as well as its producers and their economic strategies. Procedure: Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis was performed on 89 red, common bricks archaeologically recovered from Fort Vancouver and 113 comparative samples in an attempt to „source‟ the brick.

Road to Oregon Written by Dr
The Road to Oregon Written by Dr. Jim Tompkins, a prominent local historian and the descendant of Oregon Trail immigrants, The Road to Oregon is a good primer on the history of the Oregon Trail. Unit I. The Pioneers: 1800-1840 Who Explored the Oregon Trail? The emigrants of the 1840s were not the first to travel the Oregon Trail. The colorful history of our country makes heroes out of the explorers, mountain men, soldiers, and scientists who opened up the West. In 1540 the Spanish explorer Coronado ventured as far north as present-day Kansas, but the inland routes across the plains remained the sole domain of Native Americans until 1804, when Lewis and Clark skirted the edges on their epic journey of discovery to the Pacific Northwest and Zeb Pike explored the "Great American Desert," as the Great Plains were then known. The Lewis and Clark Expedition had a direct influence on the economy of the West even before the explorers had returned to St. Louis. Private John Colter left the expedition on the way home in 1806 to take up the fur trade business. For the next 20 years the likes of Manuel Lisa, Auguste and Pierre Choteau, William Ashley, James Bridger, Kit Carson, Tom Fitzgerald, and William Sublette roamed the West. These part romantic adventurers, part self-made entrepreneurs, part hermits were called mountain men. By 1829, Jedediah Smith knew more about the West than any other person alive. The Americans became involved in the fur trade in 1810 when John Jacob Astor, at the insistence of his friend Thomas Jefferson, founded the Pacific Fur Company in New York.

Barlow Road Toll Collection Authorization by Samuel K
Barlow Road Toll Collection Authorization By Samuel K. Barlow This note, signed by Samuel K. Barlow, authorized Philip Foster to collect tolls from emigrants using the Barlow Road to cross the Cascades on their way to the Willamette Valley. The history of the Barlow Road began in the mid-1840s when large wagon trains of American emigrants were making their way to Oregon from the Midwest. In the fall of 1845, hundreds of emigrants finally reached The Dalles, where they faced a logistical crisis. Only a limited number of boats were available to ferry the overlanders down the Columbia, and local food stores were dangerously low. Faced with this grim situation, several families elected to try crossing the Cascade Range rather than wait indefinitely at The Dalles for passage to Fort Vancouver. Headed by Sam Barlow and William Rector, these families set out along the Deschutes River in late September 1845. They were later joined by a second party led by Joel Palmer. Their objective was to find a southern route around Mt. Hood. While earlier Native and non-Native travelers had crossed the Cascades, none had driven wagons over the mountain range. The emigrants’ attempt proved quite harrowing, but ultimately successful. After caching their wagons and extra supplies five miles south of Barlow Pass, the emigrants made their way on foot and on horseback down the western slope of Mt. Hood. They finally arrived in small parties at Philip Foster’s farm at Eagle Creek—present-day Clackamas County—in late December 1845. The emigrants made their way to Oregon City, subsequently returning to bring their wagons and remaining goods down Mt.

Northwest Trails, Summer 2016 1
NNoorrtthhww eesstt TTrraaiillss Newsletter of the Northwest Chapter of the Oregon-California Trails Association Volume 31, No. 3 Summer 2016 NW OCTA Annual Fall Picnic September 10–11, 2016 Dupont and Steilacoom, WA Saturday: Dupont Civic Center and Tours Sunday: Bair Bistro, Steilacoom We are having our fall picnic this year in Dupont, WA, the first Washington named location in the Oregon Territory. Today it is a modern small city packed with 5,700 years of history. It was home then to the Sequalitchew Nisqually Indians. In 1833 The Hudson’s Bay Co. built Fort Nisqually there and occupied the fort until it was sold to the government of the United States in 1869. In 1906 the Dupont de Nemours Company bought nearly five square miles of land for the manufacture of dynamite and black powder. Weyerhauser Timber Co. bought most of the land in 1976, and it was ultimately deeded to the City of Dupont. Dupont’s legacy lives on and the history abounds! We will hear and see the history of Fort Nisqually through the narration of Drew Crooks, an expert historian on the Hudson’s Bay Co. Drew has written books on the complex relationship of Native Americans with Hudson’s Bay Co. and the local settlers in mid-19th century Puget Sound. After a brief business meeting and the picnic, we will adjourn and take a short trip to see the site of Fort Nisqually and, for those who would like a short one-mile hike, walk a partly paved trail down Sequalitchew Creek to see the 5,700-year-old Indian village site, the Methodist Mission site, the original Hudson’s Bay Co.
