Extractions: American Migration Patterns by Beverly Whitaker, CGRS, MA My Fascination with the Subject: American Migration Genealogy includes so much subject matter that one finds it necessary to make choices regarding which subjects to pursue in depth. American Migration has fascinated me from the very beginning of my genealogical research. I learned in 1977 that my DAR ancestor had moved after the Revolutionary War from Pennsylvania to Virginia, following the popular migration route through the Shenandoah Valley, the Great Valley Wagon Road. On vacation in 1994, my husband and I traveled the same vicinity via Interstate 81. We particularly enjoyed our visit to the Museum of American Frontier Culture at Staunton, Virginia. This living history museum is made up of four different historical cultures of the 17th, 18th, and 19th century. They brought authentic working farms from Europe and America to depict the dominant cultures in the settlement of the Shenandoah Valley and colonial America: German, Ulster-Scots, and English. Then in the 19th century American farm, these cultures blended. January 2003 marks the introduction of an additional NEW WEB SITE: relating to migration patterns in America: RIVERS and WATERWAYS, . . . pathways to migration, commerce, and entertainment

http://www.neworegontrail.com/history.htm

Extractions: Oregon County Map Oregon Topographical County Map Oregon Highway Map Indians came to Oregon at least 10,000 years ago and included the BANNOCK, CHINOOK, KLAMATH, MODOC, and NEZ PERCE tribes. The Indians changed the landscape drastically in many areas, burning the forests and grasslands in order to attract game. The coast Indians had the most stable economy, depending heavily on abundant salmon, various shellfish, seals, and an occasional stranded whale. Tribes in the interior were hunters and gatherers. The first European fur traders, even before Lewis and Clark, were welcomed by the Indians for the trinkets,tools, guns, and whiskey they provided; but the Indians resented the arrival of perm anent settlers, and many battles were fought before the Indians were subdued and placed on reservations. Many ships touched the Oregon coast in the late 1700s and early 1800s, but these contacts provided little information about the interior. From 1805 to 1806, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark made the first land exploration to the Northwest Territory. Although they visited only the Columbia River and a small part of the northwestern coast, they gleaned much information about the remainder of the state from friendly Indians. Their report created much excitement in the eastern United States, including the halls of Congress, and among fur traders who had previously trapped and traded in the Rocky Mountain region. Americans began to think of taking possession of this distant land, and Great Britain was also interested. In 1811, Astoria was founded as a fur-trading station by John Jacob Astor's American Fur Company, and the Hudson's Bay Company soon began to trap and trade in the area.
