Contemporary quarter-brown calf over black cloth (rubbing, edgewear, scuffing, rubbing & wear to fore-edges, wear to c…orners, shaken), still G copy, from the library of Addie Mae Wilson Brant (1898-1985), noted home cook from Yoncalla, Oregon, granddaughter of famed Oregon settler William Hunt Wilson (1822-1902), who drove wagons for Jesse Applegate (1811-1888) over the Oregon Trail, and a staunch abolitionist who virulently opposed the anti-immigration and anti-Black laws passed in early Oregon, w/ additional pencil inscription of "Uncle Jesse Applegate" on front pastedowns, possibly indicating this was his copy. First editions of these thirteen early publications issued by the Oregon Pioneer Association, featuring an invaluable separately printed index, as well as the first local printing of Applegate's famed "A Day with the Cow Column in 1843" which was first published in 1868 in the Overland Monthly. The account is still considered one of the best early first person accounts of pioneer families trekking across the Oregon Trail. Nesmith (1820-1885) has included his own memoir of the 1853 Rogue River War serving with General Joseph Lane, and commanding forces at the pivotal 1853 engagement at Evans Creek resulting in the Table Rock Treaty. Within two years, following the 1855 Lupton Massacre, the Rogue River War renewed, resulting in the forced removal of the Takelma, Shasta, and Applegate Indigenous Peoples to the Siletz Reservation.
