Title: Senator Lewis F. Linn and the Oregon Question
Description: Article about Senator Lewis Linn (1795-1843), one of the most active promoters of "the American expansionist compulsion" (along with Representative John Floyd of Virginia in the 1820s) from 1837 until his death in 1843. Linn was a native of Kentucky who lived and died in Sainte Genevieve, Missouri. Included are portraits of Linn, Senator Thomas Hart Benton, Henry Dodge, George McDuffie, Caleb Cushing, and Jesse Applegate. Linn was influenced by Thomas Hart Benton in his "Oregon fever" to settle the far West, and he became known as "the father of Oregon." His guardian as a child was Henry Dodge. Linn worked on the interests of early Missouri but had a special interest in Oregon and he established a bill in 1838 "to establish the Oregon Territory west of the Rocky Mountains and north of latitute 42 [degrees]" to ensure its protection as U.S. territory versus British territory--in opposition to Senator George McDuffie.
