[or-roots] Oregon Land Grant records

[Diane]

Glen—BLMGLO records do not cover the Oregon Land Grants.  The state claimed the fertile valleys and sold them off to raise money for the Oregon Land Grant College...Oregon State in Corvallis.  Many of the states did this same thing to establish a college in their state.  The original thought was that Agriculture would be the main course; to sustain and feed the nation.  Look how that has changed.   Too much liberal things and sustainable agriculture has been shoved to the back seat.  The colleges still have agriculture, but!!!!!  that is not the main thought process or educational theme.  

I have all t he information glean-able from the BLMGLO records.

Thanks, Diane

Diane have you tried the BLM GLO records they may have the land records,  I know I was able to get my Great Great Grandmother donation land claim for 1855 on the General Land Office Records there and that was on the Nez Perce Reservation

Are the records pertaining to the Oregon Land Grants for Oregon State College available on-line?  The Chewaucan Valley down including south of Valley Falls plus other areas in the county were part of this sale of those lands.  

I am searching for a particular location and so far the only way I can find any information is to go back through the books in the Court House date wise, which is really slow going.  

The Title Office records for Lake County used to be in Lakeview, but they were moved to Klamath Falls.  Too much money involved to do any research that way.

Thanks, Diane
