[edit]- Here's another link to the same content, on Wikisource (though it hasn't been fully assembled yet, it might be easier to access the text): wikisource:Page:Portland, Oregon, its History and Builders volume 3.djvu/211 Of course, Gaston's book tends toward hagiography, so ymmv. -Pete (talk) 01:39, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
- In doing genealogical research of George Chamberlain, it would appear his family came from England to Chester County, PA and then to Newark, DE. I don't see any reference to Massachussetts in my research. However, there is a Chamberlain line that did go to Massachussetts during the early colonial days - this line includes descendants such as the actor Richard Chamberlain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.59.124.125 (talk) 12:49, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
Linn County Rifles = Oregon Rifles?
[edit]Carrite, I noticed your addition of a redlink to the Linn County Rifles. I suspect, but am not certain, that this is the same entity as the Oregon Rifles (or at least, a local group that was a sort of subsidiary to the Oregon group) -- so I made a redirect. Any idea if my assumption is accurate? -Pete (talk) 01:23, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
- I had never heard of the group before. The site the info is from, the Arlington National Cemetery site, seems to be a private website that had Chamberlain listed as "Junior" rather than "Senior" (I drew the mistake to the owner's attention yesterday), so I would take the precision of that name with a grain of salt. I'd even be tempted to change it to Oregon rifles editorially, in fact. Carrite (talk) 14:44, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
- Ah, check that — the date doesn't work. The Oregon rifles came a decade or more ahead of the Bannock War. It's a good question... Carrite (talk) 14:45, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
- Hmm. The Googles are not terribly forthcoming. What seems most likely to me is that OR existed as a general concept starting in the 1860s, and the more local LCR formed (perhaps later on) as sort of a local chapter (of murderous maniacs, or whatever we should call them). -Pete (talk) 14:58, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
Common name
[edit]Regarding the move of this page, George E. Chamberlain (59%), George Chamberlain (34%), and G. E. Chamberlain (6%) are the only iterations of Chamberlain's name that constitute over 5% of references to him on newspapers.com in Oregon. Star Garnet (talk) 20:32, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
