BROOKINGS HARBOR PILOT, BROOKINGS. OREGON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER -M 1949 "Pioneer Trails Of Coos and Curry" Emil R. Peterson, Historian, Coos-Curry Pioneer Association, R. 1, Box 528, North Bend. Ore. One of the best-known pioneer trails leading from Roseburg, through Coos county and on into Curry County is called to our attention in a very splendid biog raphy, the story of Christian Lehnherr, by one of his daugh ters, Fannie Lehnherr Dixon. Steve Reed, now past eighty, a grandson of Christian Lehnherr, kindly obtained a copy of the biography for me. Relative to the trail referred to, I quote from the Lehnherr biography: “Our farm was the only road leading through the county to the county seat of the adjoining county, and there were always weary travelers stopping for the night. No charge was made. It was a joy to meet those whose contact with the outside world was so recent. “The circuit court of the south ern part of the state was held twice a year in the months of May BY CONNIE and September.

The Lehnherr home, at that time, was located at Roland Prai rie, on Roland Creek. The trail referred to led up the creek, over the mountain into the head waters of Sixes River, to what is known as the Eckley country. Here were the early homes of the families of Joseph Haines, G. H. Guerin, Thomas Gibbs, Ed win J. Biglow, Tim Greene and others. Here was another stopping place for judges, future govern ors, state legislators, attorneys, gold seekers and others, in pass- ing to and from the county seat at Gold Beach, then known as Ellensburg. More about Eckley another time, but for the pres ent we must move on down the trail. Down the Sixes for some dis- taince, then it veered off to the south, passing through one-time city of the coast, Port Orford, and on to the county seat at the mouth of the mighty Rogue river. Jack Kronenburg, of Bandon, tells us of another pioneer trail that was used even more com monly than was the Eckley route. But Mr. Editor says to save that for another date. Other trails will be reported in following issues, giving informa tion as accurately as we can ob tain it.
