Database of Names in Fur Trade History NAMES OF PEOPLE IN THE WEST DURING THE FUR TRADE By Mike Moore © Copyright 2008 Have you ever wondered how many people were in the early American west? I have. Over the years, experts and historians have claimed between 2500 to 4500 people were in this wild and adventurous place. It drew many individuals for various reasons like: money, adventure or health. This list, still far from complete, will hopefully recognize those who are mentioned in the journals, diaries and autobiographies of the day. These individuals, whether they were well known or not, led interesting lives, had grand adventures and many stories to tell. I guess in a way, this list is for the unknown ones. Those who made the hard trip west, sometimes for only a short time, but saw the west as it was and will never made a list of “famous” people. So for you, the viewer of this work, here is my list in its latest form. This is the third updated edition of where to find individuals is taken from 98 of the most common journals and diaries of the western American fur trade. The total number of people recorded here is about 4216, along with these names are approximately 11,775 entries on where to find them in these books. This large group is far from the total number that actually was in the early west. Some the names who were there may never be found, as sometimes no written record of their events. Or the only record of an event or group may have been lost, destroyed or misplaced. The most written about person during this time is Thomas Fitzpatrick with 31 entries. This means he shows up in 32 % of the books, quite a accomplishment! Evidently, everyone who met him thought there was something about him to merit words in their journals. I do hope this data base of names will be a help to you; either as a way to find a long lost relative or to search for information an individual. May it shed a little more light on this wonderful and exciting period and help you in your knowledge of a time frame that I love. All the pictures shown here were taken by the author. Mike Moore. How to use this data base: Think of a name you would like to find some information on. For example let’s use Joseph Barnett, you will find: Joseph Barnett trappers 157 Mtn 74 85 107-9 His name and two books where he is mentioned will show up like this. The notes given are the book title (see list on complete titles and their associating shorter name) and the page in the book where to find him. The only exception is “haf”, where the volume and page is given. It is a ten volume set, so the number given reflects the volume number and page number. I have tried to make this as easy as possible, but I need to give you viewers some helpful hints: -Look for various spellings of a last name, especially if it is French or Spanish. Americans sometimes spelled them phonically or incorrectly in their writings. -Try the first name or last name only, as in some journals they are called by this and not their full name. -If they have a nick name or have the name “Baptiste” or “Pierre” as part of their recognized name be sure to see what I have listed on them on with their first and last names. -Know the American/ French/Spanish versions of names. John/ Jean/ Juan are just one example of this, as some first names were noted in a language familiar with the writer and possibly not the reader. -If you see the note “book”, he or she has written a journal or dairy and will be a good source for them. I will note the abbreviated title after this. -When you see “…”, this means there are more places in the book than I can note here, usually more than four entries. So you would want to see the index at the back of the book for all of them, if there is one. Otherwise, you will need to read or scan over the complete book (which was what I had to do). - The title Captain, Colonel, Doctor or Major does not mean they were in the army or a trained phyiscan in any form. The title was some times given to a party leader, healer or organizer. -I included all the original spellings, some which are sometimes phonic, and if a name is spelled differently I have tried to keep that with the reference it is found at. -If a job title or description, tribe affiliation or important note is shown with the places they are mentioned, I included this in between the name and places found. -Lastly, any lapses, incorrectness or errors are my fault. Forgive me, this is and always will be an ongoing project. If you find any need of a correction, let me know, as it will help the next time I update it, which I try to do every two to three years.

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Richard P. Matthews for the Master of Arts in History presented 4 November, 1988. Title: Limited Horizons on the Oregon Frontier: East Tualatin Plains and the Town of Hillsboro, Washington county, 1840 - 1890. APPROVED BY MEMBE~~~ THESIS COMMITTEE: David Johns n, ~on B. Dodds Michael Reardon Daniel O'Toole The evolution of the small towns that originated in Oregon's settlement communities remains undocumented in the literature of the state's history for the most part. Those .::: accounts that do exist are often amateurish, and fail to establish the social and economic links between Oregon's frontier towns to the agricultural communities in which they appeared. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate an early settlement community and the small town that grew up in its midst in order to better understand the ideological relationship between farmers and townsmen that helped shape Oregon's small towns.

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.

  • Reader's Guide to the Mountain Men of the American West
    Reader©s Guide to the Mountain Men of the American West Antoine Clement, by Alfred Jacob Miller Compiled by Stuart Wier October 25, 2010 This is a guide to the best books about the mountain men of the American west which I know about. Anyone can find a book here to suit them: casual readers, students, enthusiasts, reenactors, and historians. I include a few less distinguished books, too, when they are the only thing about a topic. For some fifteen years -- roughly speaking, 1823 to 1838 and beyond -- the western U.S. was the domain of the mountain men, fur trappers who spent years traveling and living in the wilderness. Long before wagon trains, settlers, gold rushes, cavalry, Indian wars, cowboys, wild west towns, or railroads, mountain men were the first from the U.S. to see the Rocky Mountains and the lands from the plains to the Pacific. Their life was highly free and adventuresome, and often dangerous and short, lived in a shining wilderness. Where to begin? Many books, many choices. For a readable and short introduction try Give Your Heart to the Hawks by Winfred Blevins. For detailed histories try A Life Wild and Perilous by Robert M. Utley or the classic history Across the Wide Missouri by Bernard DeVoto. Or try some of the best biographies, such as Westering Man The Life of Joseph Walker by Bil Gilbert and Jedediah Smith and the Opening of the West by Dale L. Morgan. For adventures or "camp fire tales" try the personal journals and narratives written by some of the mountain men themselves.

  • Longley Meadows Fish Habitat Enhancement Project Heritage Resources Specialist Report
    Longley Meadows Fish Habitat Enhancement Project Heritage Resources Specialist Report Prepared By: Reed McDonald Snake River Area Office Archaeologist Bureau of Reclamation June 20, 2019 Heritage Resources Introduction This section discusses the existing conditions and effects of implementation of the Longley Meadows project on cultural resources, also known as heritage resources, which are integral facets of the human environment. The term “cultural resources” encompasses a variety of resource types, including archaeological, historic, ethnographic and traditional sites or places. These sites or places are non- renewable vestiges of our Nation’s heritage, highly valued by Tribes and the public as irreplaceable, many of which are worthy of protection and preservation. Related cultural resource reports and analyses can be found in the Longley Meadows Analysis File. Affected Environment Pre-Contact History The Longley Meadows area of potential effect (APE) for cultural resources lies within the Plateau culture area, which extends from the Cascades to the Rockies, and from the Columbia River into southern Canada (Ames et al. 1998). Most of the archaeological work in the Columbia Plateau has been conducted along the Columbia and Snake Rivers. This section discusses the broad culture history in the Southern Plateau. Much variability exists in the Plateau culture area due to the mountainous terrain and various climatic zones within it. Plateau peoples adapted to these differing ecoregions largely by practicing transhumance, whereby groups followed

A Comanche man on a white horse was barreling down the bluff toward Dodge and the remnants of the dragoon company that stood waiting with him. For weeks the dragoons had been wandering around the southern plains, hoping to meet the Comanches and impress them with the United States’ military might. However, almost immediately after the dragoon company of 500 men had departed from Fort Gibson in June 1834, they were plagued by a feverish illness and suffered from the lack of adequate provisions and potable water. When General Henry Leavenworth, the group’s leader, was taken ill near the Washita River, Dodge took command, pressing forward in the July heat with about one-fifth of the original force. The Comanche man riding swiftly toward Dodge was part of a larger group that the dragoons had spotted earlier on the hot July day.
