After reportedly assaulting two deputies
on Wednesday, July 14, a Merlin teen-ager
was taken into custody.
Josephine County Sheriff’s Office
(JCSO) deputies responded to a disturbance
on Carlton Way in Merlin involving a resi-
dent and the father of a reported runaway
juvenile girl, Jennifer Marie Peckham, 14.
After locating her behind the residence,
she was taken into custody for the runaway
charge. During the arrest, she became violent
and resistant; assaulting the two deputies and
causing injury, said JCSO.
Both deputies were treated and released.
Peckham was charged with two counts of
assault on a public safety officer, resisting
arrest, and being a runaway juvenile. She
was lodged at the county juvenile center.

A Look Back
This Week
In August 1838 the United States Exploring Expedition sailed
from Chesapeake Bay. Like the Lewis and Clark Expedition, it was
composed of military personnel and civilians.
Unlike Lewis and Clark, the group contained several scientists,
as well as artists. Their purpose was to collect information and
specimens and to record the scenes as they were encountered. The
Ex. Ex., as it is sometimes called, was commanded by Lt. Charles
Wilkes, and is usually called the Wilkes Expedition, but most his-
torians ignore it altogether, and so it is seldom mentioned in his-
tory books.
The expedition’s main function was to make charts of river
mouths, harbors, bays and other areas significant to U.S. sailing
ships. They were to collect specimens of plants, animals, and items
dealing with native cultures.
The expedition charted many places in South America and
made, what was thought, the first land sightings of Antarctica. To-
day, a large section of Antarctica below the Indian Ocean is called
Wilkes Land. They also stopped at many islands in the Pacific
Ocean, and visited Hawaii.
On April 28, 1841 Wilkes and part of his team were off the
mouth of the Columbia River. His orders instructed him to chart
the lower Columbia River and then move south for San Francisco
Bay. Rather than risk running aground on the Columbia sand bars,
Wilkes went north to Puget Sound and commenced to chart the
islands and passageways around the south end of Vancouver Is-
land.
One of his ships, the “Peacock,” had not yet arrived from Ha-
waii, so Wilkes went by land back to the Columbia River to meet
the ship when it arrived. During his wait, Wilkes traveled to Fort
Vancouver and south into the Willamette Valley in order to meet
the settlers and encourage them to attempt to join the United
States.
By mid-June the “Peacock” had still not made it to the Colum-
bia River, so Wilkes returned to Puget Sound to continue the map-
ping work. On July 18, 1841 the “Peacock” finally arrived at the
Columbia. Instead of sending a small boat ahead to plot a route
around the sand bars, the captain had the ship move directly into
the mouth of the river and consequently ran aground on a sand bar.
All the crew were able to safely reach shore as giant waves
battered the “Peacock” to pieces. Many collections, journals, and
other vital records were lost, as well as the vital stores the
“Peacock” carried. Lt. George Emmons was on the “Peacock” and
was instrumental in saving the crew.
On hearing the news of the loss, Wilkes returned by sea to the
Columbia River and began the process of charting the lower river
area, using small boats which could cross the bars more safely.
At the end of August 1841, Wilkes assigned Emmons to lead a
party overland from Fort Vancouver to San Francisco. It was dur-
ing this journey that the Pitcher Plant, or Cobra Lily, was first col-
lected.
On Sept. 26 this group reached the Rogue River, where it had a
brief skirmish with Rogue River Indians. They reached San Fran-
cisco, or Yerba Buena, as it was called then, at the end of October,
and joined the main party, which had come by sea.
The visit of Wilkes to Oregon helped the settlers stay loyal to
the United States. Because it was the first U.S. military visit to
Oregon, it greatly helped to support the claim of the United States
to the territory. It did little to encourage new settlers because of
difficulties by Wilkes in getting information published, and it was
years before the public knew of the expedition’s success.
