The Old Oregon Trail (1928)
Not a great film, but interesting regional history
16 June 2005
Much of "The Old Oregon Trail" was filmed in north-central Oregon (Gilliam County, near the county seat of Condon), in the valley of the John Day River, not the Snake River Valley as at least one commentator has guessed. The valley is still part of the ranch my family owns, and and the ranch buildings that appear in the film are still in use.
Art Seale (the correct spelling of the family name, not "Seales" as listed in the credits), was the younger brother of Sid Seale, then owner of the ranch. Sid Seale, who rode with Tom Mix in Wild West shows on the West Coast, appears in uncredited roles as wagon driver and buckaroo.
