Second generation in WA. But my great, great grandmother died on the Oregon Trail in 1856. And my granddad homesteade on the Nehalem river in 1890.

I can still remember my dad and his brothers talking about the salmon in the Nehelem
River in the very early 1900s.

Any interesting note, to me at least, is that the homesteaders did not eat steelhead. They thought they were scrap fish. Too skinny and stayed in the river too long.
