[or-roots] Train to Oregon

[Kith-n-Kin]

It may surprise some  to know that the ships generally stopped at the Sandwich Islands on the way from the
Isthmus to Oregon.
 
Oh, that's Hawaii to the younger generation <G>
 
Quite a detour, suppose it had to do with favorable seas.

I had relatives that traveled from Brooklyn, NY about 1863--apparently by ship, went by some means across
the isthmus and then by ship up to Portland.

Thanks Gene,
 
But I really don't think they were ever on a boat.  Would have heard something about that over the years.
Now I am puzzled.  <http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/smi/0201d20638/03>    Maybe I will never know.
