Oregon History Given In Applegate Papers The University recently receiv ed the important Oliver C. Apple gate papers given to the library by his son, Oliver C. Applegate of San Francisco, Calif. Over 3,500 letters are in the collection, which represents one of the largest and most impor tant sources of Oregon history from the 1840s to the 1930s, The Applegates are one of Oregon's best-known pioneer families. The name Applegate is perpetuated in Oregon history and lo’e through the Applegate trail, a route Jesse and Lindsey Apple gate. explored and followed on their journey into Oregon in the early 1840s. THE COLLECTION*. which be gins with letters of Lindsey Ap plegate. Oliver’s father, includes drafts of Indian treaties and oth er documents, diaries and other papers about the Modoc War of 1872-73. and letters to such well known people as A.B. Meacham, Jeff Riddle, John F. Rose, and William C. McKay, besides many personal letters containing de tailed information about the so cial and political life of the times. Most of the correspondence ema nates for Salem, the Yoncalla area, and various points in south ern Oregon. In his later years. Oliver C. Ap plegate was a familiar figure at pioneer gatherings and events honoring the history of Oregon. His advice and counsel was sought by historians and writers. Lewis McArthur wrote him for information on Oregon place names and his opinion on a varie ty of subjects related to history and geography. He was active in the American Pioneer Trails As sociation, and a friend to all those who were interested in preserv ing the memory of the pioneer. The importance of the Apple gate collection is commented on enthusiastically by Earl Pomeroy. Beekman professor of Northwest ern Pacific history in the Uni versity and an authority on the history of the region. He remark ed: "These papers are unsurpass ed as a source on the social his tory of Oregon. They pertain both to the public careers of mem bers of one of the first families of the state and to details of everyday life over nearly a cen tury that usually do not appear in public records, political man uscripts, and most published his tories. The people of southern Oregon have been unusually care ful in preserving historical ma terials. By drawing on the papers of Oliver C. Applegate and on related materials already in the University Library, our gradu ate students will have rich op portunities to study and write the history of the state and re gion in wide perspective."
