Doug will explain how events in Ewing Young's life helped to establish American settlements in the Oregon countryside. He will also explore how and why the Newberg area became the hub of the 'modern' history of Yamhill County beginning in 1834, and how Ewing Young's distilling efforts in 1837 opened The Oregon Trail.
