Immortalized by a series of modern historical novels by Don Berry, he is best known as an early white settler along Tillamook Bay on the coast of the U.S. state of Oregon. The Trask River and Trask Mountain along the Northern Oregon Coast Range are also named after him. Early lifeElbridge Trask (aka Eldridge Trask)[1][2] was born on July 15, 1815 in Beverly, Massachusetts. He was the son of John and Bethiah Trask.[3][4] FrontiersmanIn 1835, Elbridge Trask joined the employ of the Columbia River Fishing and Trading Company of Nathaniel Jarvis Wyeth.[3] In December he arrived at Fort Hall[3] in present-day Idaho and joined his first trapping expedition with experienced mountain men the following December. Much of what is known about this portion of his life comes from the journals of his traveling companion Osborne Russell. In January 1838 he camped at Jackson Hole with Jim Bridger and spent the next year acquiring a large number of beaver pelts in the Yellowstone area. In August 1839, he became separated from his party, which waited for him for several days until threat of an attack from the Blackfoot forced his party to return to Fort Hall. The following month he returned to Fort Hall by himself unharmed. On August 22, 1842, while in the Snake River valley, he and Osborne Russell joined a wagon train led by the missionary Dr Elijah White headed the Willamette Valley.[3] Marriage and familyWhile serving as a guide for the wagon train, Elbridge Trask met Hannah Able, a young widow from Indiana with a baby daughter traveling with the William T. Perry wagon. On arriving at Willamette Falls at present-day Oregon City, the two were married on October 20, 1842.[3] Elbridge Trask and his wife Hannah set up a homestead Clatsop Plains near Astoria at the mouth of the Columbia River. In 1852, they left the Clatsop Plains to settle near Tillamook Bay south along the coast. They were the first white family to settle in the bay, establishing a homestead along the Trask River, which is named for him. Trask Mountain {{convert|3412|ft|m}} in the Northern Oregon Coast Range is also named after him. DeathElbridge Trask died on June 23, 1863 near Tillamook in Tillamook County, Oregon. He was buried on his own property.[4] DescendantsElbridge Trask is further survived by a number of his great-grandchildren, including Jaycee Miller and Leif Schueler. In popular cultureIn 1960 Elbridge Trask was popularized in the historical novel Trask by Don Berry. The novel, as well as its two sequels, are collectively known as the "Trask novels."
