<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Lewis and Dryden’s <U>History of the Pacific Coast</U> is one source you might try. This is a multi-volume work and deals primarily with the ships and their history, but you can occasionally ferret out additional information. Several of the larger libraries have these volumes in their collections, I have pulled up a few references in internet searches to this publication but I am not certain or at least don’t remember if they were from Google books. I believe I have occasionally seen passenger lists for Portland and San Francisco on Ancestry as well, but I don’t believe they cover the time period you are researching. National Archives might have something on their website. Another source you might try depending on how much information you have to start from are the online newspapers from that period. I know the U of O’s digital newspaper project has the <U>Oregon Spectator</U> available. There are frequent references in the Spectator to ships arriving from San Francisco and occasionally they will mention a particular person has arrived. </SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>I don't know of any single source, though the Oregon Historical society might have something; Glen Jones might be able to tell you more about that. </P>

<P class=MsoNormal>I have seen passenger lists from San Francisco to Portland and I believe also listings of departures from Portland to other points listed in the "Call" which you can find (and search) selected issues of here; <A href="http://cdnc.ucr.edu/newsucr" target=_blank>http://cdnc.ucr.edu/newsucr</A></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>The search engine is pretty good, but I have found relevant info when I knew the date to look at by browsing, also if you don't get a hit, you can browse by date or title with the buttons on the right. I enjoy doing that just for the interesting history and sometimes stumble across things I didn't know to look for.</P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>Also if you are looking for a particular person you might want to try google books; I haven't used them for a while so don't know where they hide the buttons these days, but you can do a search in google and then somewhere is a button that gets you to just books and then on that page "should" be another button that will limit your hits to books you can download. Sometimes I get info from books that are just in review because the blurb Google posts to tease you into buying the book has enough info to answer my question, even if the actual page isn't there. If the page comes up, but the book is not downloadable I usually just steal the page with a right click and "save image to" or if they have that option defeated you can also zoom in till you good large text of what you want and then do an <alt> <print screen> and save the screen shot, if you don't have any other graphics program to work with it in it is possible to manipulate it in paint; select and copy[<ctr cl> the text you want, open a new file and paste the cropped image into it [<ctrl v>] If you prefer to print that image either save [save as .jpg gives much smaller file size] the file and print it from Windows picture and fax viewer. If you choose to print it from paint make sure you go to page setup in the "File" menu and down in the lower right corner "Fit to" should be set to 1 by 1 pages. I have no idea why paint was created to do what it does with an image, I forget this detail once in a while and end up with a 4 inch by 6 inch image on four sheets of paper. Programmer must have had shares in a paper company.</P></DIV>
