The Centennial History of Oregon, 1811-1912 (1912) by Joseph Gaston
Thanks @
PeteForsyth:. In the article I started about Seth, it says he bought out Henderson in 1857, and this article says 1859. Do we have a definitive source?

Valfontis: cool - sorry, missed your ping earlier. Not sure where I read that, but if I didn't cite it explicitly, it likely wasn't a great source. I'd say go with yours. -

Ideas for expansion

It really is a tantalizing tidbit. He was mocked in papers all over the country. Almost felt sorry for him, with his earnest do-gooderism, but the string of ex-wives he left behind (including the one whose parents he mooched off of after his failed ventures) kinda made me sympathize with his detractors. -
