Résumé du livre
The collection consists of account books, business correspondence, and a hand written copy of Hoffman's overland journal. The journal describes Hoffman's journey from Covington, Indiana, starting on April 13, 1853, to Jacksonville, Oregon, October 31, 1853, and includes descriptions of landscapes and trail conditions. Also included in the journal is a biographical sketch of Hoffman and an entry, 1865, regarding business affairs in Jacksonville. The collection also contains a scrapbook, circa 1879, containing clippings of articles, probably from the Jacksonville Sentinel, relating to conflicts with the Native American tribes in Oregon and the organization of the Oregon Rangers.
