| | Lower Chinook and Clatsop Fisheries, Missions, and Settlements |
 | | In May, 1840, Methodist missionary Jason Lee, his nephew Daniel, and a number of families arrive on the Lausanne, ready to settle in the country of the Clatsop. |
 | | Lee commenced reproving them for their folly; but a venerable old doctor informed him that it would be best for him to depart before he found himself in trouble. |
 | | The missionaries have only two white neighbours, “one on the Clatsop Plain, and the other at Astoria, across Young’s Bay; and during the storms, which are now almost incessant, this bay cannot be crossed in a canoe without endangering life” (Lee and Frost 1844:312). |
