[or-roots] Pioneers of Oregon

[DanM.]

I have the Matney's.
Lots of pioneer data.

If one wants to find it
In their own words
was a pioneer set of 3 books, its really old and last time I looked, the library only offered it as reference now.

  This book, "Pioneers of Oregon" was never meant to be a complete study of all pioneers of Oregon. This is the Oregon Pioneers of just one family - descendants of Daniel Richardson and allied families. Each of us with Oregon ancestors could write a book about our "Pioneers of Oregon" -- and each would be different.

  From experience I know that it is very hard to title a book so the title is meaningful to the author and family, and is meaningful to a greater audience, and how will it be indexed and shelved in a library. When you begin to think of all those aspects, writing the book is the easy part.

  Just my two cents . . .  .

    I must say the book Pioneers of Oregon appears to be far from complete.

    I think Sandy Flory's website has a more complete list, also I had ancestors 

    that came 1846-1847 -1853 and my Gr. Gr. Grandfather was a Fur Trapper and Mountainman that came in 1829

    His future brothers-in-law were with him Joseph Meek and Robert Newell, and there were many others that

    do not show listed in the Pioneers book.
