This collection consists of the original manuscript of "Early History of Tillamook," by Warren N. Vaughn, as well as typescript copies and a microfilm copy of the history, and biographical information about Vaughn. The original manuscript, undated but probably created in the 1890s, is handwritten in four ledgers or notebooks, and consists of Vaughn's detailed recollections about the earliest emigrants to and events in the Tillamook Bay area, 1851-circa 1863. It begins as a history of Tillamook County but ends abruptly at the end of the fourth volume. Microfilm in the collection is a copy of Vaughn's original manuscript. The collection also includes two undated typescript transcripts of "Early History of Tillamook": one in which each volume is bound separately with paper and twine, and one that was copied, edited, and consolidated into a single book by Louise W. Goodrich of Tillamook, Oregon, for the Columbia Gorge Chapter of the Daughters of the American Colonists in Portland, Oregon. Other materials in the collection include an Oregon Historical Society questionnaire filled out by Vaughn and dated 1902, providing biographical and genealogical details, information on his journey to Oregon, and remarks on Native people, particularly Chief Kilchis; and a photocopy of a biography of Vaughn in "Portrait and Biographical Record of Western Oregon" (Chicago, Chapman Publishing Company, 1904).

Part of Early history of Tillamook
A typed transcript copy of all four volumes of Warren N. Vaughn's "Early History of Tillamook," copied and edited by Louise W. Goodrich for the Columbia Gorge chapter of the Daughters of the American Colonist. Vaughn was one of the early white settlers of Tillamook County and recorded his detailed recollections of the community and events in the Tillamook Bay area from 1851 to approximately 1863. The narrative recounts the journeys that Vaughn and fellow settlers made between Yamhill County and Tillamook Bay, the establishment and growth of Tillamook County, and interactions with the Native people of the area.

"Early History of Tillamook," volume 1
Part of Early history of Tillamook
The first volume of Warren N. Vaughn's four-volume manuscript, "Early History of Tillamook." In this volume, Vaughn recounts how he first heard of Tillamook in 1851 while living in Dayton in Yamhill County. After deciding to relocate there, he made multiple journeys between Dayton and the Tillamook Bay area starting in 1852 and ending in 1853 when he took up residence on a claim in Tillamook. Vaughn details his travels during this period and the difficulties faced in attempting to reach Tillamook from Dayton. He writes about his experiences with his travel companions during these trips and describes encounters with the Native peoples of the area, who often acted as guides and provided assistance, food, and supplies for the immigrants during their journeys. While Vaughn's retelling of these interactions is generally positive, he also uses language that was common at the time and includes disparaging or pejorative descriptions of Native peoples.

"Early History of Tillamook," volume 2
Part of Early history of Tillamook
The second volume of Warren N. Vaughn's four-volume manuscript, "Early History of Tillamook." In this volume, Vaughn writes of the hardships he and other early white homesteaders endured, including lack of provisions and supplies and isolation from the outside world, as they established their homes in the Tillamook Bay area. With construction of a new trail between Tillamook and the Willamette Valley, an influx of immigrants relocated to the area and Tillamook County was officially organized in 1853. Vaughn describes early steps taken to establish a community, including the creation of a public school and a blacksmith shop, and efforts to build a schooner to facilitate trade. He describes the first election and the first census taken of Tillamook County, both in 1854, and lists the names of all 80 white residents at that time.

"Early History of Tillamook," volume 3
Part of Early history of Tillamook
The third volume of Warren N. Vaughn's four-volume manuscript, "Early History of Tillamook." In this volume, Vaughn continues his description from Volume 2 of the community effort to construct a schooner, which was completed and launched on its maiden voyage to Astoria and Portland to purchase supplies. Vaughn also writes of negotiations between the U.S. government and the Tillamook people, with the government intending to execute a treaty with the Tillamook for their land; however, proper negotiations never took place and Vaughn asserts that the Tillamook had their land unlawfully taken away. Vaughn also describes a series of violent conflicts that occurred between the Native people and the white population, which resulted in ongoing tensions. He writes of the growth of the white population in Tillamook through 1860 and increased trade, mainly by sea.

"Early History of Tillamook," volume 4
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.

A bound volume containing charcoal sketches of Oregon coastal scenes drawn by Alice E. Wilson between 1898 and 1899. The scenes depict houses, landscapes, and canneries in the central Oregon coast region including Garibaldi, Tillamook, and Seaside. A note of provenance taped to the inside of the book reads, “April 22, 1960. This album of original charcoal drawings was donated to the Oregon Historical Society by Dr. O. S. Driskell, D.D.S. Portland, Oregon. His aunt Miss Alice E. Wilson visited beach resorts for many years just prior to the turn of the century. Her pictures are quite authentic and readily identified by older residents. Miss Wilson and Dr. Driskell’s family were in the Old Grimes House the night it was razed by fire. D. H. Bates, Past-President Oregon Historical Society, April 1960.”
