Modoc War Claim Transfer, Witnessed by J. L. Smith, 1875

Year: 1875

Letter dated April 12, 1875, from Oakland, Oregon, addressed to Secretary of State Stephen F. Chadwick (later Oregon’s fifth governor). It documents the transfer of a Modoc War claim from W. J. Woodson to Abraham & Bro, witnessed by John Lewis Smith, my great-great-grandfather. The letter connects early Oregon political leadership, pioneer families, and the commercial life of Douglas County through the intertwined roles of Smith, Abraham & Bro, and local merchants such as James Beale Smith.
