Letter from Mary Lewis on her attempts to obtain copies of the Oregonian and pioneer stories of Orus Brown

Description

Partial letter from Mary Brown Lewis to her sister, Liberta Brown Schoch. Mary explains her failed attempts to obtain copies of the Oregonian paper for Liberta. She also discusses Jesse Applegate's blame for the Pringle party's troubles on the Oregon Trail and Orus Brown's attempt to deter them from their southern route.
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.
