Excerpt from The Heroes of Battle Rock, or the Miners' Reward: A Short Story of Thrilling Interest; How a Small Canon Done Its Work; Port Orford, Oregon, the Scene of the Great Tragedy I was working in Portland, Oregon, at the carpenter trade along in the latter part of May, 1851, when a friend by the name of Palmer, introduced me to Capt. Wm. Tichenor, who was at that time running an old steam propeller called the Sea Gull. Between Portland, Oregon. And San Francisco. California. Before introducing me to Capt. Tichenor. My friend told me that the Capt. Wanted eight or ten men to go down on the steamer with him to a place called Port Orford on the southwest coast of Oregon. Where. He intended to make a settlement. Lay out a town. And build a road into the gold diggings in Southern Oregon and that all who went down with him should have a share in the town he and his partners were going to build. His partners were Mr. Hub board, purser on the Sea Gull, and the Hon. Butler King. Then chief in the Custom House in San Francisco. After I made the acquaintance of Captain Tichenor he painted the whole enterprise in such glowing colors that I was really infatuated with the prospect. He told me that there was not a particle of danger from the Indians. That he had been ashore among them many times and they were perfectly friendly. So I went to work to hunt up a party to go down with us on the Sea Gull. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
