possibly sailed as far North as
the Oregon boundary. In 1879
Sir Francis Drake explored for
/, England the coast considerably
north of this. Other Spaniards
made further explorations and
Captain Cook, the English navi-
gator, in 1888 landed at Nootka
Sound and gave 1t its name.
Thus both Spain and England
laid claim to this region.
The American rights to this
territory were based on the dis
covery of the Columbia river in
1892 by Captain Robert Gray,
who sailed from Boston in the
ship Columbia to open up fur
trade. Many American fur
traders followed and In 1871
John Jacob Aston, the head Of
the Pacific Fur company, estab-
lished a settlement called Aston
ia at the mouth of the Columbia.
The real opening of the North
west was the result of the fam
Gus Lewis and Clark expedi-
ton.
BY 1S43 a decided flow of !.
emigrants from the East trav- !:
elled over the Oregon Trail from I:
Kansas City to the Columbia !:
river, and thus into Oregon. The !;
trip over this route occupied !.
about three months and the set I;
tiers generally travelled in large
parties to withstand any pos
sibie attacks from Indians.
American settlers became so !:
numerous that the United States
actively laid claim to this re- /;
gion. Spain had been forced to :
withdraw any rights she may /;
have had when Florida was ;
coded in 1919. This left Eng !
land and AmericS quarreIling !
over this section of the country.
Final settlement, with definite !
boundaries between the United :
States and Canada, was made :
in 1916.
The Oregon territory was |:
formed in 194S and the State of
Oregon was taken into the I'm ]
ion in 1859 with an area OF &c.
500 square miles.
