Kohnen: I did enjoy all of your URLs which you posted on <[email protected]> I especially enjoyed the interperative centers, Timberline Lodge, and info on the Barlow Trail. I grew up in that part of the state -- area that was known as Nansene (on Tygh Ridge), Wasco County, Oregon My family are listed as Early Settlers. -- SEE Barlow Map on website for our house & farm buildings were about 4 miles from the Deschuetes River (Oak Canyon) and about 10 miles, south and east of Dufur. During the 1930s, I attended the 1-room Nansene School. It was there that I developed my keen interest and love of the "Oregon Country" histories & lore.. In Oregon History, we also studied the Indian Wars. Oregon History was a required course of study in about 7th/8th grades. Does any one have a map of the John Fremont Trail (US ARMY)? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^Posted on <[email protected]> >>>>Here's a URL for the museum at FOSTER FARM: http://www.teleport.com/~eotic/fosterfm.html PHILIP FOSTER (b.1805, Maine) was a junior partner with Francis W. Pettygrove (of Maine) and married to Pettygrove's daughter, Mary Charlotte. Pettygrove was an agent of AG/AW Benson and Co. In 1842, Foster, his wife and four children, Pettygrove, wife, and another child set sail on the ship Victoria from New York. After a layover in Hawaii (typical) they arrived in Oregon in early spring 1843 on the ship Fama. They were living over their thriving store in Oregon City(corner of 3rd and Main) by May 1843. In early 1844, Foster bought Samuel McSwain's land claim in Eagle Creek. The Foster family moved to Eagle Creek, June 1844.
