Shot on location of Oregon's Trail of Tears Day 20 March 12th 1856 (Wednesday) “Cloudy and threatening rain. We had some trouble in finding out cattle. We however succeeded in getting them to gather about ten o'clock. After traveling through a canyon about one and a half miles we arrived at Calapooia Creek. Our route lay directly up the creek for two and a half miles over hilly but prairie country where we crossed the steam on a bridge at Baker's Mill. For the remainder of the day our route lay northward and over some steep hills. About four miles from the mills we struck camp at what is called Oakland. Two deaths occurred today since we camped, one man and one woman.” - George H. Ambrose, Indian Agent
