Bonjour, I just found the title of another book I would like to have checked for 1851 names and/or find a library where I can get it on ILL. It is the last one on this list below: 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. 1) LYMAN, Horace S., "History of Oregon - the Growth of an American State",North Pacific Publishing Society, NY (1903) 2) HINES, REV.
