"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 circuit judge
accompanied by the prosecuting
attorney and a number of the

has been claimed some have been
known to “have sticky fingers.”
The methods of operation are
said to vary from town to town,
and for different sections of any
community. It is supposed that
several make up a group, each
calling on prospects sold by an
other, each representing a dif

were dost' friends of Christian
Lehnherr.
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. I’ll be glad to hear from
anyone who can give use addi
tional facts about these old trails

licitors, apparently crippled, are
operating in those districts, mak-
ing various types of representa-
tions about their connections.
These solicitors use many and
sundry methods of gaining ad
mission to the homes. One of the
sure-fire methods many have dis
covered, is to represent them
selves as solicitors authorized by
veterans groups.
