  • 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

  • Southern Route
    Chapter Eight Southern Route Capt. Levi Scott was the epitome of a self-made man of the American frontier – a bona fide “frontiersman.” Born February 8. 1797, and raised without benefit of loving parents on the edge of the frontier, the fiercely independent Scott had migrated west over the Oregon Trail in 1844, upon the untimely loss of his wife of twenty-five years. Scott was seizing what was to be his last chance to start life anew, on the new American frontier which was moving to distant Oregon. Owing to the excessive rains in 1844, the entire migration got underway late on the Oregon Trail. But halfway through the journey Capt. Scott demonstrated the leadership qualities he had developed while commanding a company in the Black Hawk Wars in Illinois against the Sac Indians from 1831 to 1833. According to his account, Scott was elected to assume the leadership of half of Nathaniel Ford’s trail followers, when they grew dissatisfied with their former leader. By the time Scott’s party reached Ft. Hall in early September, they traded their team and wagon with the proprietor of the fort for horses and pack-rigging, and proceeded on horseback for the remainder of the journey. Scott explained that their work oxen had become exhausted, and it was getting so late in the season that his party feared they might be caught by the winter snows in the mountains. Upon reaching the Dalles of the Columbia River late in October, the travelers had arrived at the point where most all emigrants sought out means to transport their families and equipment down this treacherous stretch in the journey.

The founding of the provisional government in 1843 has been regarded as the most sig- nificant event in the development of the Pacific North- west, but the individuals who conceived and carried out that great project have too long been ignored, with the result that the memory of their deeds is fast fading away. The author, as historian of Multnomah Chapter in Portland of the Daughters of the American Revolution under the regency of Mrs. John Y. Richardson began writing the lives of these founders of the provisional government, devoting three years to research, studying original sources and histories and holding many inter- views with pioneers and descendants, that a knowledge of the lives of these patriotic and far-sighted men might be preserved for all time.

Information concerning the location of archaeological sites or objects is exempt from public disclosure under Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 192.501(11).2 Therefore, such information, including archaeological survey reports, is provided confidentially to the Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE). Exhibit S of the Project’s Application for Site Certification (ASC) was submitted to and accepted by ODOE in September 2018. Subsequent to ODOE’s acceptance, ODOE provided requests for supplemental information. This errata sheet provides the requested information and documents associated changes to Exhibit S. 1 The Exhibit includes data regarding cultural resources identified within the analysis area, as well as a high level summary of field survey data collected to date.

  • 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. CONST. pmbl. 2 The breakdown by profession appears in a 1902 address by former delegate John McBride to the Oregon Historical Society. 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]. McBride, from Yamhill County, was himself a “lonely voice” at the convention—its only Republican, a “forthright opponent of slavery,” and “uncompromising” on temperance.
