"Father of Oregon" Mcloughlin was the Commandant of the British Hudson's Bay Company and became the "formost figure of the fur trade-settlement period of the Pacific Northwest." "John McLoughlin was a victim of the transition from fur trade to Settlement, from British power to American; of the social conflicts therby produced, theoug he did his best to conform to the change caused by the sweep of American Migration and politics." this is his story.
