Freedom Heavy Haul can help with any sized Heavy Hauling tasks to or from the excellent state of Rufus Oregon or anywhere within the USA.
Known as the "Lion of the West," Rufus Oregon was a legendary lawman and scout who helped settle the west. His stories of tracking down outlaws, bandits, and other criminals have made him a legend in his own right. Oregon was born in 1834 in Vermont and grew up on a farm. He enlisted in the military during the Mexican-American War and fought in several battles. After the war, he moved to California and worked as a cowboy.
There is no one definitive answer to the question of who Rufus Oregon was. Some believe he was a Native American warrior, while others believe he was a white pioneer. What is known for sure is that Rufus Oregon played an important role in early Oregon history. In 1843, he became the first white settler in what is now Lane County. He built a home near present-day Eugene, and over the next few years helped establish several other settlements in the area.
Rufus Oregon is a five-time Grammy Award winning American blues musician and singer. He was born on October 9, 1914, in poverty in North Carolina. He started playing the blues at the age of 10 and began his musical career in the 1930s. He toured extensively throughout the United States and Europe before settling in Los Angeles in the late 1950s. Oregon has recorded over 50 albums and has been inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame.
