Hi, The Family History Center has the Ill. History of Oregon by Hines, and they have very reasonable prices (I think $3.50), in case anyone can't get to the Washington libraries. Peggy

Bonjour, I'm sending along the list of repositories for the Hines book, hoping that I can find a couple of folks who live close by one and would be willing to share the task of checking the volumes for me.(I understand the first volume is a history, and the others are collections of biographical aketches) This list was kindly sent to me by Adrien Taylor at Boise State. - Subject: RE: ILL.

Bonjour, I had good luck finding the other OR History books on my list I sent out recently, thanks to some wonderful folks who responded. The one that seems to be very scarce is ILL. HISTORY OF OR, by Hines (1893). I know there is a set at the U of WA at Pullman. There might be one at the U of ID at Boise, if I read a communication from Adrien Taylor out there correctly. I wonder if there is anyone who lives near enough to there to check it out for me. Or maybe, there is another set out there somewhere. Thanks....

Bonjour, Sorry to use the List for this, but I can't seem to get hold of Tom Laidlaw,Anne Billesbach, nor Lynn Sullivan and hope they see this.

In May of 1852, after gathering up the requisite supplies together, James Marshall and his wife Ruth Morgan loaded up the prairie schooners and hitched up the oxen. Then they began the journey of their life. Heading west with them was Ruth Morgans' brother's Rawley and his family, Peter and James and their uncle Jonathan Morgan. Rawley's wife died just before leaving for Oregon Along the Platte River in Nebraska, tragedy Struck the family. Rawley and one of his sons with wife and child died of cholera. When the train reached Round Valley on the Umatilla River, James was splitting wood and cut his hand. James past away October 4, 1852, from blood poisoning.

Hi list: I have so many Oregon Trail Families I made a web page: http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~cchouk/oregon_trail/ The time period is 1843-1868, and includes many families. I just went through and fixed the broken links; hope I got them all. Cecil "Dion H.

Here goes we have Joseph Strowbridge who left Ohio in 1851 and drove an ox-team arriving in Portland, OR Oct. 3, 1852. Justus Strowbridge left Penn. in 1850 arrived in Calif. Hangtown Aug. 29, 1850 came to Oregon in 1853. Eli E Elliott (father) and Albion B Elliott (as a child) came to Oregon between 1863 and 1868.

The $100 is volume 1. The $75 is volume 2.

The books you listed, Centennial History of Oregon 1811-1912, are listed for sale on Bibliofind. One set is $75, another is $100. Just use a search engine (I use Google) and enter Bibliofind. Then ask for the titles you are interested in. Linda

Albert, I believe that Linn Co. Gen. Soc. at the library at Lebannon has all four volumes of CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF OREGON, 1811-1912, 4 vols., S. J. Clark Co.,Chicago (1912). That is the good news, the bad news is that since it is in such bad condition, they are refusing to make copies of any pages. However, perhaps you can get a researcher there to look up for you. Here is the email address for Lebannon Gen Soc. which is located at the Lebannon library. http://www.usgennet.org/usa/or/town/lebanon/index.html Good luck, Judy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Bonjour, again, I want to thank the kind folks who answered my previous post about books I am seeking to have checked out for 1851 O.T. Pioneer folks.There are so many nice people on these lists!!!! Now, I have another group of books that are reputed to have short biographical sketches included. If anyone has access to these and can check for 1851 folks or can locate copies so I can try to get them on Inter-library Loan, I will be most grateful. I have tried to get other of these old books through ILL, but due to their age, some libraries won't lend them out that way. Unfortunately, being on the East Coast, the libraries out here are generally not that interested in these typs of reference works, so I am forced to solicite help from you western folks. 1.) LYMAN, Horace S., "History of Oregon - the Growth of an American State",North Pacific Publishing Society, NY (1903) 2) HINES, REV. H. F., "Illustrated History of the State of Oregon",Lewis Publishing Co., Chicago (1893) 3) CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF OREGON, 1811-1912, 4 vols., S. J. Clark Co.,Chicago (1912) ...I had no luck -from my earlier post- getting anyone who had access to this last book to check for one name:"Biddy Mason" 4) BEASLEY, Delilah L.,"The Negro Trail Blazers of CA", New York Negro University Press, 1919, reprinted (1969) Wishing everyone out there to have a joyous Thanksgiving Day, I am...

Family ledgend says that my grandfather was on the Oregon Trail. I would like help - proving or disproving this. Sincerely, Bill Chapman Sandpoint, Idaho

http://www.new-jerusalem.com/genladynew/ this looks like it can be a real good site, but we all need to beef it up with our surname listings, folks, and whats so nice about the site is that it is definately user friendly for the search and add surnames... i reccommend it , and i am amatuer enough that if i can see the merits of this site i am sure others will too....
