Explore Oregon’s pre-1900 history and its part in US military activities throughout the 1800s, beginning with the Ourigan river Indigenous trade routes to the making of Oregon Country and then as part of the United States of America, first as a territory and then as a state. Explore Indigenous peoples in the Pacific Northwest, pre- and post-European settlement, the Lewis & Clark Expedition, early settlers and militias, the American Revolution, War of 1812, Indian Wars in the Pacific Northwest, Buffalo Soldiers, the Mexican-American War, and Spanish-American War.
