Samuel and Charles McLain migrated west in the 1850s to find their fortunes prospecting for gold. Their father, James McLain, was a Pennsylvanian who had settled with his wife in Mountsville, Ohio, where they raised a family of six sons and three daughters. In 1852, Sam, then 24 years old, left the family homestead for Oregon, and settled in Philomath, where he lived for the rest of his life. Considered to be an early pioneer, he helped to blaze the trails that opened up the Yaquima Bay country. In 1857, Charles McLain followed his brother west, traveling to various places, including Nebraska and California, in his search for gold. He eventually made his way to Oregon in 1865 to join his brother.

Title: McLain Brothers Papers 1857-1865.

The McLain Correspondence contains ten letters and one newspaper clipping, an obituary and remembrance of Samuel McLain (1828-1910). Samuel wrote four of the letters in which he described his feelings about the war, religious camp meetings, and the hardships of life and prospecting in the West. Charles McLain wrote five letters, one with a note from Sam on the back, mainly to family members in Ohio. Like Sam, Charles discusses the war and describes the perils of life in the West. In his letter of March 5, 1865, he advised his father and his brother John against moving west, especially since they were doing so well raising tobacco. Charles dates his letters from many different cities, including Leavenworth City, Kansas, Elkhorn City, Nebraska, and Ophirville, California. The first letter in the collection, dated March 6, 1862, is from cousin Nancy Miller to John McLain, Sam and Charles' brother who lived in Ohio.
