BIBLIOGRAPHY OF OREGON TRAIL EMIGRANT RESOURCES <br>
<br>
Willamette Valley Genealogical Society and the Oregon State Library
have a long history of working together to provide Oregon citizens with
research support in the area of genealogy and state history. Now WVGS
volunteers Evelyn Gatlin and Sandy Graham have compiled a bibliography
of resources, from the State Library collection, that contain names and
personal accounts of the thousands of emigrants who traveled the Oregon
Trail. This resource will be very helpful to anyone who is researching
Oregon history or genealogy. The bibliography <a
