Oregon Trail of Tears - Day 33 - Grand Ronde

Shot on location of Oregon's Trail of Tears Day 33 March 25th 1856 (Tuesday) “Clear and pleasant. We got an early start this morning and after driving hard all day reached the reservation about four o'clock in the evening, after driving a distance of sixteen miles. So ends my journey and journal after a period of thirty-three days, and which time we traveled a distance of two hundred and sixty-three miles. Starting with three hundred and ninety-five Indians. Eight deaths and eight births, leaving the number the same as when started." - George H. Ambrose, Indian Agent
