Dr. John McLoughlin: an estimate of his character and influence
Manuscripts
Thesis on Dr. John McLoughlin (1784-1857) written by LeWanda C. Fenalson Cox as part of her BA degree from the University of Oregon. She began the thesis by noting "This paper seeks to dethrone a saint...there is no desire to evolve a demon...[instead] the search is for the man," and in many places this takes the form of criticism of McLoughlin's earlier biographers. Fenalson Cox then gives a brief biography of McLoughlin before writing more extensive analysis of his character, a criticism of his "Oregon City Claims" (McLoughlin became known as the "Father of Oregon"), expounding her belief in McLoughlin's hope for personal gain by aiding early settlers in Oregon, a section on his interactions with the Hudson Bay Company and what lead to the deterioration of the relationship, and a final section entitled "Why the Myth?" in which she sums up her conclusions about her views of reality and legend. Includes a bibliography.
