| Description | 1 watercolor view: col., 28 x 35 cm. Oregon City was first settled in 1829. Dr. John McLoughlin is generally credited as the town's founding father, having constructed an early lumber mill there. Oregon City was an early capitol of the territory, until the territorial capitol was finally moved to Salem in 1851. In his book, the artist (Henry Warre) notes that a rival city had sprung up further down the Willamette during the summer of 1845- this would become Portland, Oregon. |
