Thanks for a succinct, informative addition to a worthy endeavor. I'm a 77 year old 5th generation Oregonian, and my gr-gr-grandfather was captain of an 1853 Oregon Trail wagon train. He homesteaded, was a minister, and farmed south of Silverton. It was bitter/sweet when we voted with our feet 7 years ago and moved to Meridian, ID.
