I have found helpful fun articles every time I get a chance to focus
searches.  It takes a bit to learn how to narrow the searches down but the
coverage for early Oregon in the Oregonian is very good.  They have put
some of Eastern Oregon papers online as well.  I find it to be helpful for
my research.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
