P-690Description
Old Fort Clatsop Site. House was built by W. Hampton Smith about 1870. The three fruit trees on the left were shipped from East via Cape Horn to Preston W. Gillette in 1852 and planted by Carlos W. Shane who then owned the site. These trees are healthy and still bear fine cherries and apples (in 1900). The old dead tree at right of the house is the last of the fine forest of spruce found on the site by Lewis and Clarke 100 years ago (now over 200 years ago).Made/Created
