Near Astoria is Fort Klatsop. It is a living history museum that portrays Lewis and Clark wintering over in that area. Also another excellent book, "Journal of a Trapper" by Osborn Russell. He was not a very educated man, but extremely will written. Deals with the Oregon Territory circa 1830, Oregon City to the Yellowstone.
