[Albert Belanger]

Bonjour,
 
There were several POWELL folks on the Trail in 1851.  When where your
folks traveling?

Your Stevens family may have joined in with another train coming
through.
Quite often that happened.
 
My POwell families had another train join them.  It was the Hunter
train.  I can
find no record of the Powell train (about 50 wagons) and I am trying to
find
something on the Hunter train.  That way one knows about what our
families
experienced along the way.  You might try that.
 
I am writing a historical novel about the Powells travel to Oregon
Territory and
I'd like to have more than what I have to make the book interesting.  A
lot has
to be fabricated to glue the facts and dates together.
 
The Powells came over the trail, branched out onto the Barlow Trail to
Oregon
City (where I live) and then up the Willamette River to Linn County,
Oregon.
 
Howell Prairie is beautiful farming country.  Sam Barlow , who built the
Barlow
Trail, lived a little north of there.  Linn County is quite a bit south
of
Howell Prairie.
 
I can take a picture of Howell Prairie area for you if you'd like.  It
wouldn't
look like in the 1800's but you could see the terrain.
 
 
Talk Later;
 
Dorothy
