Content Description
Typescript essay, "Deep, dark canyon of the Applegate Trail," by Catherine DeMoss of Eugene, Oregon, 6 pages, circa 1930-1960, discussing the route the Applegates might have taken to Oregon on their overland journey in 1846. The paper proposes a more southerly route than the one generally accepted, because the Applegates may have believed that war with England over the Oregon question was imminent.
