The Grande Ronde Valley and Blue Mountains: Impressions and Experience of Travelers and Emigrants, The Oregon Trail, 1812-1880," a report by Stephen Dow Beckham for the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, La Grande, Oregon.  February 16, 1991.  Beckham found his resources from historical societies, libraries and archives from Oregon, California, Washington, Indiana and Connecticut.   There are hundreds of entries in the report. I only posted a few of them on the Umatilla County History web site that did years ago.

There is a Bibliography in the book.  I don't know if the USFS had more copies printed or not. I managed to get their last copy but I no longer have it. I gave it to a friend so I am not able to do any look ups. You might check to see if there are copies available through Inter-Library Loan.

Darlene,

I wished I knew, because my (ggg-grandfather) Hanson Stevens family left Keokuck, Iowa & arrived Howell Prairie/Silverton, Marion Co., Oregon abt. Oct. 9, 1852.
Same goes for my McCubbins Clan arrived Howell Prairie/Silverton, Marion Co., Oregon abt. Oct. 9, 1852 from Franklin Co., Missouri.

In fact my (ggg-grandfather) James McCubbins's son--Samuel McCubbins married a daughter of Hanson Stevens--Sarah Ellen Stevens, both pioneer families of 1852. 

Please let me know if you find or
anyone else knows of a "travel diary" 
Thanks!  Nancy

James and Eliza Jane Hamlin left Iowa in April and arrived in Oregon in
October of 1852.  Does anyone know of a "travel diary" kept by a fellow
traveler on this trek to the "promised land"?
