Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immerse yourself in the captivating narrative of "The French Prairie," a three-chapter gem unearthed from John d'Arc Lorenz III's masterful "Beyond Blue Earth to the French Prairie Volume II." This brilliantly crafted piece illuminates the lives of three Metis families who indelibly etched their names in the annals of Oregon's nascent history. In the first chapter, journey alongside Joseph Rocquebrune and Lisette Wallawalla as they deftly traverse the intricacies of the Pacific Northwest fur trade. Witness their resilience as they, along with Joseph's fur brigade, navigate uncharted territories and harsh landscapes, finding their initial refuge in Cowlitz before ultimately establishing roots in the fertile soils of the French Prairie. The narrative continues to unfurl with the tale of Francois Bernier, a devoted miller from Quebec. Experience the emotional gravity of his decision as he bids farewell to his wife and newborn child, embarking on a life-altering voyage to St. Paul, Oregon. It is here that his destiny intertwines with that of Etienne Lucier, another trailblazing pioneer. As their paths cross, Bernier finds solace and a fresh start with Lucier's daughter, Pelagie, weaving another thread into the rich tapestry of Oregon's history. As the story reaches its zenith, you will be riveted by the tale of Etienne Lucier's granddaughter, Marie Bernier, and her charismatic husband, Amedee Choquette. Their epic saga resounds with resilience, fortitude, and sheer will. Be enthralled as you follow Amedee's perilous journey along the infamous Oregon Trail, surviving a harrowing grizzly bear attack and eventually finding his way to St. Paul. Once there, he ascends to prominence as one of the region's largest landowners, creating a prosperous hop farming industry and breeding French Trotters who go on to be prize-winners. Lorenz's exquisite storytelling paints an authentic picture of the trials and challenges these pioneering families had to surmount. Their stories of undying resilience in the face of catastrophic natural disasters, such as the cataclysmic Champoeg floods, serve as a testament to their unwavering spirit and resilience. "The French Prairie" transcends the constraints of a conventional historical narrative. It is a poignant homage to Oregon's rich and diverse history, a celebration of the relentless human spirit, and a tribute to those audacious pioneers who dared to chart a new course. For anyone intrigued by Oregon's complex past and the indelible legacies forged by its early settlers, this mesmerizing account is an absolute must-read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a contemporary novel with historical flashbacks based on library and ethnographic research. The main character (Catherine) is a French student who grew up in Normandy and studied European history as an undergraduate. As a teenager, she had read that French-speaking Canadians were the first permanent settlers in northwestern Oregon in the early nineteenth century. She also discovered that one of those French Canadian pioneers had practically the same last name as hers. Suspecting a family relationship with him, she looks up her father's genealogical chart and finds a blank space where her potential ancestor's descendants should have been listed. Eager to elucidate the mystery, she sets a long-term goal for herself: going to the United States in order to improve her English and investigate the French Canadian saga. Catherine achieves her dream by getting a position as a mother's helper in Oregon, at the price of eventually breaking up with her French boyfriend. During her stay in the United States, she explores the former French Prairie area in northwestern Oregon. She also finds out through ancestry research that she is indeed distantly related to the French Canadian pioneer whose name is similar to hers. She meets some of his descendants and, after some detours and adventures, falls in love with one of them. All along she experiences occasional culture shock but gradually adapts very well to the American way of life.

Download or read book Little Houses on the Prairie written by Jun R. Kinoshita and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using GIS, this study creates a predictive model of a distinct population of French-Canadian settlers, highlighting shared environmental characteristics of known sites that may have factored into their decision-making process as they chose locations for their farmsteads. While traditional historic and archaeological research has been conducted on French Prairie, the advent of GIS and readily available data sets facilitated this first multivariate, statistical, predictive model of French-Canadian settlement. This study explored theoretical and logistical issues of predictive modeling and determined that this population may be uniquely suited to predictive modeling. Here, however, substantiating a previous settlement pattern was problematic and the variables used produced a weak predictive model. One by-product of this research was the digitalization, rectification and analysis of 1852 GLO maps of the French Prairie during the development of the "known sites" data theme. As an initial attempt at modeling, this study points to the need for ongoing archeological testing and modeling efforts as development on and around French Prairie threatens archaeological resources. The study suggests other environmental and social variables for further testing.

Download or read book At the Hearth of the Crossed Races written by Melinda Marie Jetté and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the force of Oregon's founding mythology, the Willamette Valley was not an empty Eden awaiting settlement by hardy American pioneers. Rather, it was, as Melinda Jetté explores in At the Hearth of the Crossed Races, one of the earliest sites of extensive intercultural contact in the Pacific Northwest. Jetté's study focuses on the "hearth" of this contact: French Prairie, so named for the French-Indian families who resettled the homeland of the Ahantchuyuk Kalapuyans. This history of French Prairie provides a window into the multi-racial history of the Pacific Northwest and offers an alternative vision of early Oregon in the lives of the biracial French-Indian families whose community challenged notions of white supremacy, racial separation, and social exclusion.
