The Lure of Oregon Settlers headed West for good land/climate Oregon Country – region West of Rocky Mountains (Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, western Canada) Pacific Coast: soil fertile, mild temps, rainfall plentiful (Willamette River) Mountain Range: dense forests, fur-bearing animals (fur trappers 1 st to Oregon County) Coastal to Rockies: barren & dry, home to neither fur trappers or farmers 1818 – US & Britain occupy Oregon jointly Citizens of each nation have equal rights
