Shot on location of Oregon's Trail of Tears Day 29 March 21st 1856 (Friday) “Clear and pleasant. This morning we were two or three hours in ferrying the river. For two or three miles we found the roads very muddy. About three miles north from Corvallis our road improved very much, becoming rolling and dry. We traveled today a distance of twelve miles and encamped near the claim of Mr. Reed.” - George H. Ambrose, Indian Agent
