Building its reputation on durable quality merchandise, the store offered clothing, shoes, accessories and a wide variety of catalog items at reasonable prices to Rogue Valley families. In the photo taken from the mez­ zanine in 1981, the ground floor contained women's wear, men's attire, shoes, lingerie and accessories. In 1986 the building was left vacant when JC Penney moved to the new Rogue Valley Mall.

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.

  • Oregon Land Donation Records
    Oregon Land Donation Records Lyn Rasmussen, CGsm FamilySearch Introduction An offer of free land was hard to resist. The Donation Land Claim Act of 1850 offered just that in Oregon Territory’s Willamette Valley. The act became law on September 27, 1850. For those living in the Territory, or who arrived before the December 1, 1850 deadline, the grant was 320 acres for a male citizen 18 or older (or those who had legally declared intention to become a citizen) or 640 acres to a married couple. This legitimized the provisional land claims made before the 1850 act. Disallowed from land were African Americans and Indians, but American Indian half-breeds could apply. Those arriving in Oregon after the December 1, 1850 deadline and before December 1, 1855 (the expiration of the law) were eligible to receive half the amount of donation land. The size of the land piece was dependent upon the date of arrival and the marital status of the claimant. The law allowed for 320 acres of designated land free to a married man and his wife. A single man was eligible for 160 acres. In an extension of the law in 1854 land was available but sold for $1.25 per acre, with the cap of 320 acres. After 1862 the Homestead Law applied to Oregon land. Claimants were to live on the land and cultivate it for four years and after having done so would own it outright.1 The potential for a nice homestead in Oregon was motivation for tens of thousands of white settlers to migrate to the Oregon Territory from 1850 through 1855.

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.

  • Exploring Your Property's Past: Questions and Resources
    Exploring Your Property’s Past: Questions and Resources Developing a property history for your woodland management plan Pat Wheeler, Brad Withrow-Robinson, Amy Grotta and Lauren Grand March 2017 Finding the past One of the special things about woodland ownership is the connection to place it creates for people. That connection is evident in the pride of ownership, passion and the energy that people put into their property. Less obvious but often very strong is the connection to time and history associated with that place, however long a person’s own relationship to the land has been. Many people really enjoy exploring and recording their property’s history. We recommend you first develop the basic story, with the recent history of the property, as you know it (for your Woodland Discovery Plan, or Forest Management Plan). Then maybe you go on to collect information and memories from other family members and neighbors. If you are then interested in digging deeper, and extending your search further back in time, then this document can help. It provides a list of resources, many of them available free online that may be useful to people exploring the history of their woodland properties. What do you hope to learn? Besides the recent history, (some of which may be) available in the memories of living people, a lot of information is available in public and historical records. A variety of resources can help you learn about native people, pioneers, early settlers, donation land claims and more. We introduce some here, but others will be unique local documents you may have to discover yourself.

  • Field Trip Guide to the Upper Cretaceous Hornbrook Formation and Cenozoic Rocks of Southern Oregon and Northern California Field
    Field Trip Guide to the Upper Cretaceous Hornbrook Formation and Cenozoic Rocks of southern Oregon and northern California Students in SOU’s field geology course examining sandstones of the Rocky Gulch Member of the Hornbrook Formation near Hilt, California. Field Trip Leader: Bill Elliott Department of Geology, Southern Oregon University Saturday, September 8, 2007 Introduction The Klamath Mountains are an elongated north-trending geological province that occupies approximately 19,000 km2 in southwestern Oregon and northern California. The Klamath Mountains are made-up of numerous terranes that accreted during the Antler (Devonian), Sonoman (Permian to Late Triassic), and Nevadan (Jurassic to Early Cretaceous) orogenies (Mortimer, 1984). These terranes have been grouped into four metamorphic belts, from oldest (east) to youngest (west): Eastern Klamath Belt; Central Metamorphic; Western Paleozoic and Triassic; and Western Jurassic (Irwin, 1966; Irwin, 1994). In the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, numerous magma bodies intruded the Klamath Mountains, including the Jurassic Mt. Ashland pluton and Early Cretaceous Grants Pass pluton (Hotz 1971; Gribble et al., 1990). During the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, a subduction zone complex and forearc basin developed along the western margin of North America while folding and thrusting of Paleozoic and lower Mesozoic rocks associated with the Sevier orogeny triggered the formation of the Cordilleran foreland basin in the interior of North America (Figs. 1 and 2). The Hornbrook Formation (Upper Cretaceous) consists of a sequence of dominantly marine clastic sedimentary rocks about 1,200 meters thick exposed along the northeastern margin of the Klamath Mountains in southwestern Oregon to northern California (Fig.
