Vancouver Area Chronology 1784 - 1958 VANCOUVER AREA CHRONOLOGY 1784 - 1958 Carl Landerholm Vancouver, Washington 1960 FOREWORD This volume is the culmination of years of effort and research upon the part of its author- -to the end that local historians, present and future, may have an easily acces- sible source of factual information.The Fort Vancouver Historical Society, which hereby becomes the beneficiary of this monumental contribution, takes this opportunity to express its gratitude to Carl Landerhoim for his untiring efforts in producing an accurate chronology for our area. Carl might well be termed an "historiants historianU and is truly the embodiment of selfless dedication to worthwhile, but entirely altruistic, projects. Readers of this Chronology will realize the thankfulness which the Society feels in having had at its disposal through- out the years the untiring, ever enthusiastic, ability of Carl Landerholm, always ready for whatever research assignment might arise. And so, to Carl Landerhoim the Fort Vancouver Historical Society extends kudos for a job well done, and to the public, congratulations upon having available this authori- tative compendium relative to the rich yesterdays of Vancouver. HOWARD J. BURNHAM INTRODUCTION This compilation is an effort to correct in a measure the great lack that has existed of readily available Information dealing with the history of Clark County and its immediate environment.It is made up of over thirty-two hundred items in the main strictly arranged chronologically starting with 1784, the birth-year of John McLoughlin and extending to the close of 1958.Each item is, I believe, reliably documen- ted to insure accuracy.To simplify making use of the material, there are 39 pages of index. The choice of dates included in the compilation was of course solely my judgment. Among the bristling array presented by newspapers and other sources, selection was not always easy. How well the matter has been umpired, each reader must decide for himself. At any rate I hope that these pages of "Area-Dates" may prove useful to seekers after documented information about the history of this area, whether the objective be to get start- ing points for more detailed research, in or out of school, to arouse interest in the colorful pageantry of our change from wilderness to modern wonderland, or simple curiosity. My thanks to those who have helped along this work in any way; and especially to the editors and staff of the Vancouver Columbian for allowing me unstinted access to their newspaper files, without which this compilation could not have been uncle rtaken.

Low-relief rocky meadows and modest forested ridges marked by scattered cinder cones and shields are common landforms in Simcoe Mountains volcanic field. Mount Adams (elevation: 12,276 ft; 3,742 m) is centered 50 km west and 2.8 km higher than foreground meadow (elevation: 2,950 ft.; 900 m); its eruptions began ~520 ka, its upper cone was built in late Pleistocene, and several eruptions have taken place in the Holocene. Signal Peak (elevation: 5,100 ft; 1,555 m), 20 km west of camera, is one of largest and highest eruptive centers in Simcoe Mountains volcanic field; short-lived shield, built around 3.7 Ma, is seven times older than Mount Adams. 2015 U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Contents Introductory Overview for Non-Geologists ...............................................................................................1 Introduction.....................................................................................................................................................2 Physiography, Environment, Boundary Surveys, and Access ......................................................6 Previous Geologic

KIWAN/S MEMORIAL ru-i «.,- HISTORY: PARK When "Indian Charlie" made his summer home on the site now occupied by the Locks there ran a quiet stream from "Tenus Chuck" (Lake Union) into "Cilcole" Bay (Salmon Bay and Shilshole Bay). Salmon Bay was a tidal flat but the fishing was good, as the Denny brothers and Wil- liam Bell discovered in 1852, so they named it Salmon Bay. In 1876 Die S. Shillestad bought land on the south side of Salmon Bay and later built his house there. George B. McClellan (famed as a Union General in the Civil War) was a Captain of Engineers in 1853 when he recommended that a canal be dug from Lake Washington to Puget Sound, a con- cept endorsed by Thomas Mercer in an Independence Day celebration address the following year which he described as a union of lakes and bays; and so named Lake Union and Union Bay. Then began a series of verbal battles that raged for some 60 years from here to Washington, D.C.! Six different channel routes were not only proposed but some work was begun on several. In §1860 Harvey L. Pike took pick and shovel and began digging a ditch between Union Bay and Lake i: Union, but he soon tired and quit.

  • Robert Sommers: the Role of the Canadian Pacific Railway in The
    The Atlas: UBC Undergraduate Journal of World History | 2004 The Role of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the Early History of Vancouver ROBERT SOMMERS British Columbia’s entry into Confederation in 1871 was contingent upon the construction of a national railway. For the rest of that decade, however, the debate raged as to where the terminus would be, with the province’s two leading urban centres, New Westminster and Victoria, vying for the prize. At that time, the town where Vancouver stands today was known as Granville or Gastown, and was full of impassable forests, was a remote location, and had land so cheap that it traded for a dollar an acre. Finally, in 1882, when Burrard Inlet was announced as the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) terminus, Port Moody went wild with land speculation. However, the provincial government had other plans. Desiring an extension of the railway all the way to Coal Harbour, the province made the CPR an offer it could not refuse: more than ten square miles (6458 acres) of land in return for an extension of the rail line and for CPR construction of works and docks by the railroad terminus. The Canadian Pacific, led by William Cornelius Van Horne, quickly agreed. It wanted to extend its line anyway because Port Moody lacked sufficient room for the railway to operate: it did not own an acre outside of the limited rail yard and the Second Narrows was not considered a safe passage for ships. The CPR thus became the richest landowner in town, the speculative land market in Port Moody immediately collapsed – only to rise in Granville – and Gastown boomed, becoming a city on April 6, 1886.

  • BRYANT: Mary Nell
    The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project MARY NELL BRYANT Interviewed by: Charles Stewart Kennedy Initial interview date: August 6, 2009 Copyright 2015 ADST Q: Today is August 6, 2009. This is an interview with Mary Nell Bryant. I am doing this on behalf of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training (ADST), and I am Charles Stewart Kennedy. Do you call yourself Mary Nell, or…? BRYANT: Mary Nell. Q: Okay. Mary Nell, let's talk about when and where you were born. BRYANT: Miami, Florida in 1952. I was born and raised there. Q: Let's talk a bit on your father's side; then we will come to your mother's side. Where did Mr. Bryant come from, and what do you know about that side of the family? BRYANT: My father, Calvin Schofield Bryant, was born on a United Fruit plantation in Tela, Honduras, on the Caribbean coast. His father was Calvin Oak Bryant of Lakeland, Florida; his mother Nellie Schofield of Corozal, Belize, which is a seaside town now considered a great expat relocation destination. The Nell in my name comes from my paternal grandmother. My father’s first years were spent growing up on the United Fruit compound in Tela. Q: What do you know, say, at the grandfather level and the grandmother level? What do you know about that? What they were up to and…? BRYANT: My grandmother was born and raised in Corozal, one of 16 children of Ernest Augustus Henry Schofield and Petronita Novella. (Ten of the children lived to adulthood: Rosita, Dora, Ines, Mito, Tavo, Tom, Ernesto, Ida, Nellie Armitage and Judy.) Ernest Augustus Schofield came from London in 1879 at age 19 to work in his father’s lumber and shipping business.

  • Oregon's Civil
    STACEY L. SMITH Oregon’s Civil War The Troubled Legacy of Emancipation in the Pacific Northwest WHERE DOES OREGON fit into the history of the U.S. Civil War? This is the question I struggled to answer as project historian for the Oregon Historical Society’s new exhibit — 2 Years, Month: Lincoln’s Legacy. The exhibit, which opened on April 2, 2014, brings together rare documents and artifacts from the Mark Family Collection, the Shapell Manuscript Founda- tion, and the collections of the Oregon Historical Society (OHS). Starting with Lincoln’s enactment of the final Emancipation Proclamation on January , 863, and ending with the U.S. House of Representatives’ approval of the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery on January 3, 86, the exhibit recreates twenty-five critical months in the lives of Abraham Lincoln and the American nation. From the moment we began crafting the exhibit in the fall of 203, OHS Museum Director Brian J. Carter and I decided to highlight two intertwined themes: Lincoln’s controversial decision to emancipate southern slaves, and the efforts of African Americans (free and enslaved) to achieve freedom, equality, and justice. As we constructed an exhibit focused on the national crisis over slavery and African Americans’ freedom struggle, we also strove to stay true to OHS’s mission to preserve and interpret Oregon’s his- tory. Our challenge was to make Lincoln’s presidency, the abolition of slavery, and African Americans’ quest for citizenship rights relevant to Oregon and, in turn, to explore Oregon’s role in these cataclysmic national processes. This was at first a perplexing task.
