families. The name Applegate is

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

drafts of Indian treaties and oth
er documents, diaries and other
papers about the Modoc War of

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."
Research students have already
consulted the file for a variety
of subjects. Historians will con
