Excerpt: ...As stated in the headline to this diary the winter of 186162 was the most severe of any known in the Pacific Northwest from its earliest settlement. The first snow fall in the Willamette Valley occurred on November 15. Previous to that date it had rained hard almost continuously for several days in all the valleys on the coast, and at the same time there was a heavy fall of snow in the higher altitudes in the Cascade and Coast ranges. Then a sudden change to unusually warm weather occurred which melted the snow in these ranges and caused a flood in all the streams draining the valleys. Between the second and sixth of December the Willamette river was fifty-five feet above low water mark at Oregon City, and was at extra flood stage its entire length, thus causing a loss of property estimated at the time at a half million dollars. At Oregon City alone the damage was easily over $170,000. Then about the middle of December a "cold snap" came and lasted for fully two months, much of the time below freezing point, and occasionally below zero. During this period there were heavy falls of snow all over the country, both east and west of the Cascade range, and it remained on the ground in the western and southern Oregon valleys over fifty consecutive days, and in eastern Oregon a much longer time, with the temperature frequently below zero, and occasionally as much as thirty degrees. Altogether the floods and extreme cold weather following, prolonged as the latter was, caused a loss of property approximately one million dollars; and worst of all, a number of lives by drowning and freezing.--George H. Himes, Secretary. MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.. Portland, March 13, 1916. The Board of Directors of the Oregon Pioneer Association...

Download or read book The Tainted Gift written by Barbara Alice Mann and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-09-03 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, an accomplished scholar offers a painstakingly researched examination of the United States' involvement in deliberate disease spreading among native peoples in the military conquest of the West. The speculation that the United States did infect Indian populations has long been a source of both outrage and skepticism. Now there is an exhaustively researched exploration of an issue that continues to haunt U.S.-Native American relations. Barbara Alice Mann's The Tainted Gift: The Disease Method of Frontier Expansion offers riveting accounts of four specific incidents: The 1763 smallpox epidemic among native peoples in Ohio during the French and Indian War; the cholera epidemic during the 1832 Choctaw removal; the 1837 outbreak of smallpox among the high plains peoples; and the alleged 1847 poisonings of the Cayuses in Oregon. Drawing on previously unavailable sources, Mann's work is the first to give one of the most controversial questions in U.S. history the rigorous scrutiny it requires.
