Item Details

[Washington and Oregon Territories] Recollections, Andrew Jackson Chambers, 1947, n.p., 40pp., 6 x 4.75 inches.

Staple-bound in plain wrappers. Fine Condition.

First person narrative of crossing the plains in 1845. Veteran of the Oregon Indian Wars, 1855-56. Moved north to the Puget Sound in 1847. This is as clean of a copy as you will find.  Howes C270. Mintz: "The Chambers family crossed the plains in 1845, wintered at the Dalles, later moved on to Oregon City, and finally settled at Tualatin Plains. Chambers was a participant in the Indian Wars of 1855-56. This very scarce little book was written in 1904, but not printed until 1947, when only a few copies were done."
