Greenberry Smith is a three-part exhibit dedicated to telling what we know about the two lawsuits Letitia Carson filed against the administrator of David's estate after his death. <span class=\"JsGRdQ\">\"Death of David Carson\" provides context to his unexpected passing, what this meant for Letitia, and how it fundamentally altered their time on their Soap Creek Valley Lands. It details how Oregon\u2019s exclusion laws and the whites-only provision of the 1850 Oregon Donation Land Claim Act forced Letitia Carson off her land. <\/span>The latter pages reveal the intricate details of her successful fights against Greenberry Smith, including numerous primary sources that provide a deeper understanding of the arguments, rebuttals, and the outcome of this first case.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","credits":"","featured":0,"public":1,"theme":"","theme_options":null,"slug":"david-carson-s-estate","added":"2022-06-14 17:37:12","modified":"2025-07-18 16:45:34","owner_id":89307,"use_summary_page":0,"cover_image_file_id":352,"id":3},"item":{"item_type_id":null,"collection_id":1,"featured":0,"public":1,"added":"2022-06-16 01:42:44","modified":"2022-09-26 21:39:09","owner_id":89307,"id":2}}
