GENEALOGY ENTHUSIASTS GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING
At the height of activity for the Hudson's Bay Company at Fort Vancouver, American wagon trains began rolling west. At Fort Vancouver, the Native American and Hawaiian populations were permanent residents with fur traders, clerks and officers of the HBC. Mary Rose, executive Director of the Friends of Fort Vancouver, will talk about the changes that took place at the Fort and the community. Internationally, “Oregon” would be declared a U.S. Territory up to the 49th Parallel. By 1849, the U.S. Army was at Vancouver to reinforce America’s claim.
