Early history of Tillamook

  • Mss 213
  • Collection
  • circa 1890-1904

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 settlers 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).

Vaughn, Warren N., 1823-1907

"Early History of Tillamook," volume 1

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.
