Biographical History

Nathaniel Jarvis Wyeth (1802-1856), merchant and adventurer arrived at Ft. Vancouver, Oregon at head of band of eight men (October 29, 1832). Returned to Boston following year to arrange for supplies to be sent to Oregon by ship. Brought a second party, including missionary, Jason Lee, overland (1834). Established trading post and shipped lumber and salmon to Hawaii. Returned when this venture failed (1836). John Kirk Townsend (1809-1851), ornithologist and physician, came with Wyeth's second expedition (1834). He collected bird specimens during two years in Oregon that he later sold to John James Audubon. Townsend returned east by way of Hawaii (1836). Elkanah Walker (1805-1877) and his wife Mary Richardson Walker served as missionaries to Spokane Indians (1838-1848). They later assisted in organization of Tualatin Academy which became Pacific University (1849).
