Sue: Eugene is the County Seat of Lane County, Oregon; as well as (arguably) the state's second-largest city behind Portland. It is also home to the University of Oregon Ducks.

You're welcome, Karen. I had emailed NARA to ask about the old 6th Infantry and the person I talked to said he'd see what he could find. A couple of weks later I got all that stuff in the mail. :-)- And he said they were kept in the "Old Wars and Civil Records".

Hi Trail Fans Here's a Spotlight that will have something of interest for everyone. I diverged from the usual single subject web page, so the April Spotlight features Richard Hughey, a columnist for the Placerville, California, Mountain Democrat, California's oldest newspaper. Mr. Hughey has written a myriad of articles about the trails, cutoffs, explorers, emigrants, personalities, the journey, Indians, wagons, mountain men, and other subjects pertaining to the trails into California. His articles include information about the Pony Express, the Santa Fe Trail, the Carson Emigrant Trail, the Old Spanish Trail, and of course the Oregon/California Trail. Personalities include the Donners, Frémont, Kit Carson, Jedediah Smith, Peter Lassen, and many more. Just a few of the topics you'll find here range from stage coach robberies, how to load the wagon, the discovery of gold, the founding of towns, to hunting bear. There are several years' worth of articles at this site, so you'll be able to come back often. Richard Hughey is a retired lawyer who now devotes his time to researching and writing about early California history.

Calling all Rice Family researchers. I just want to let youknow about the Rice Family Books available through a new website <A HREF="http://www.ricefamilybooks.com/"> http://www.ricefamilybooks.com</A>.They’re full of information on all of the Rice families in America.  – Sue

Thanks, Lois, A couple of years ago I asked at the regional Federal Archives and they told me that they did NOT have the Oregon Indian War papers. I thought I had to go down to Salem to look the information up. Thanks for the tip! Karen Beagle
