Title

Notes on Orus Brown's attempt to find an easier trail through the Cascade Mountains

Description

Notes compiled by Liberta Brown Schoch on her family history. She describes a venture her ancestor, Orus Brown, joined to search for an alternative path to the Oregon Trail through the Cascade Mountains from the Willamette Valley in 18. These notes might have been compiled using Bancroft's 'History of Oregon.'
Liberta was the great-granddaughter of pioneer Tabitha Moffatt Brown, who settled in Forest Grove, Oregon. Tabitha Brown helped found Pacific University and is known as the 'Mother of Oregon.' Liberta graduated from Tualatin Academy in 1899, received her Master's degree in Education at Columbia University, and married Alfred Diehl Schoch.
