Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Pioneer Days of Oregon History, Vol. 2 We have briefly shown that the Presbyterians sent Rev. Samuel Parker, of Ithaca, New York, to look over the ground west of the Rocky Mountains, and that he made the first attempt in 1834, too late to join the fur traders' caravan for that year. On the 14th of March, 1835, he left home, going via Buffalo, Pittsburg, Wheeling, Cincinnati, Louisville and St. Louis, where, on April 14th, he found waiting for him Dr. Marcus Whitman, appointed his associate. Mr. Parker was of mature age, precise ways, and solemn deportment, whereas Whitman was thirty-two years old, outspoken and free in manner, with energy that made obstacles yield. He had no superfluous refinement, so apt to become part of a minister's deportment, but was genuine in all things and as kind as he was vigorous. The wild spirit and overflowing ways of the hunter and trapper amused Whitman, while they terrified the more reverend Parker. They left the wagons at Fort Laramie August 1st and started with all their goods loaded on mules. They reached Green River rendezvous August 21st; Captain Bridger had an iron arrow, three inches long, in his back, and a hunter had carried such an one in his shoulder for two years; Whitman extracted both, to the wonder of admiring natives.

Excerpt from Pioneer Tales of the Oregon Trail and of Jefferson County The author has lived in Jefferson County nearly forty years, and has enjoyed the friendship of nearly all of the old settlers. He has been identified with them in many associations and gatherings having for their object the preservation of the history of the past. He served as Secretary of the Old Settlers Association for many years. This has enabled him to collect much pioneer history. The old settlers are rapidly diminishing in numbers. They alone can best tell the unwritten incidents of early days, much of which is already entangled with legend and tradition. Many incidents have become greatly distorted, oftentimes unrecognizable with the facts. He began to gather all data and reduce them to readable form, largely from the facts as above mentioned, and also for the reason that little had been made by others. The work was started by the author in 1909, and since that time great interest has been taken in it by the people who have aided in the work of discovering and preserving relics and landmarks, especially of the Old Oregon Trail.
