Part of Early history of Tillamook
The fourth volume of Warren N. Vaughn's four-volume manuscript, "Early History of Tillamook." In this volume, Vaughn writes about the establishment of the first sawmill in Tillamook County. He recounts two local legends: the story of the "beeswax ship," a ship carrying candle wax that had wrecked on the Tillamook shore, and the story of a buried treasure. He also tells the story of prospectors who discovered gold in the area. Vaughn shares that by 1862, commerce and trade had developed considerably and the community of white settlers in Tillamook County continued to grow and prosper. His narrative ends abruptly with the story of one resident murdering another.
