Talk:Breitenbush Hot Springs Retreat & Conference Center

Almost B
A little more with the citations (4 footnotes total in article) to make it look less like original research and this is a B class article. Aboutmovies 21:36, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

The most obvious question
isn't even answered: Are the hot springs open to the public, or do you have to be part of their "resort?" Tragic romance (talk) 22:31, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * One has to be a guest, just like a hotel or most any other private resort. I thought it was worded to convey that meaning, but maybe it's not clear enough.  —EncMstr (talk) 22:45, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Homestead
I am new to this and not sure I am doing it right but here goes: I am one of the authors cited in the history of Breitenbush Hot Springs. The article erroneously states that Breitenbush Hot Springs was homesteaded in 1904 by Theodore Roosevelt. In 1904 Theodore Roosevelt was the sitting President of the United States and was not homesteading in the Oregon Cascades. Breitenbush was homesteaded by Claude Mansfield and there is a stream, mountain and hanging meadows in the area named for him. Mansfield's homestead claim was granted on August 16, 1904 nominally by Theodore Roosevelt as the sitting president. President Roosevelt's name was signed on the homestead patent by the local federal land office agent as was the custom of the time. The original homestead patent is available for public inspection (prepare to spend a few hours digging for it, the court clerk will steer you in the right direction but you must find it yourself) at the Marion County Courthouse in Salem, Oregon, or you can contact me for a facsimile.Tjmcdevitt (talk) 04:11, 22 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much for fixing that. I wondered about that when I saw it, but did not try to look at the citations.  Thanks for stepping up!  —EncMstr (talk) 04:35, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
