On the 2nd of May, 1843, these
men gathered here at Champoeg,
to decide the yery important ques
tion of what country should own
this land, known then ; ' the
"Oregon territory," and which was
not claimed' by any civilized na
tion. f The Indians' were here and
of course claimed ;. priority,' but
the palefaces were also here, and
lived among the Indians at th
risk of their own lives.
"When I came to this country,
eight .years ago, to paint thla plc
ture,' 1 went to everyone available
to see how 'many likenesses I
could get" of 5 the men present at
this meeting. .The best I could do
was , to. secure 22 . daguerreotypes
and tintypes. There were 102
persons present at the meeting,
but ) 22 actual pictures were all
1 could find. All the Information
