Lindsay Applegate (1808-1892) pioneered

Indians. The Lindsay Applegate papers contain newspaper clippings related to the
Applegate family; letters (1863-1891); and reports, vouchers and other
administrative documents relating to Applegate's work as Subagent at Ft.
Klamath (1866-1872).

Biographical Note
Lindsay Applegate was born in 1808. He married Elizabeth Miller, whose
sister Melinda was married to Lindsay's older brother Charles. In 1843 Lindsay
came to Oregon with Charles and their younger brother Jesse. While journeying
on the Columbia River through Washington, Lindsay's young son Warren drowned
after his driftwood boat capsized. The loss led the Applegates to establish the
Applegate Trail, a safer, more southerly route to Oregon. In the summer of
1846, Lindsay and Jesse led the first parties of pioneers from Idaho over the
trail, which crossed northern Nevada and ran up through present-day Ashland and
Roseburg.
Applegate was appointed special agent for the Lakes Indians (Modoc) in
1861. In 1865, Applegate was appointed Indian subagent, responsible for treaty
negotiations and other U.S. government dealings with the Klamath Indians. A war
between the Modocs and the U.S. Army broke out in November 1872, just after
Applegate retired from his subagent post. In January 1873, Applegate, along
with several other prominent Oregon settlers, including S.A. Clark and R.H
Kincaid, proposed a peace commission to stop the war's spread.
Lindsay Applegate died in 1892. He was survived by his sons Elisha,
Jesse A., Oliver, Ivan, and Lucien, and his daughters Alice and Rachel.
Applegate's other children Warren (who drowned in the Columbia), Theresa,
Annie, Frank and Jerome died before he passed away, as did his wife Elizabeth
(1816-1882).
