Clarissa Birdseye braved a cross-country wagon trip and the Rogue River Wars. She was no match, however, for a stubborn horse named Prince. Thanks to Prince, a rare wine is made by Del Rio Vineyards in Gold Hill, Oregon.
On a fine day in 1860, Clarissa was ready to head home from a visit to Jacksonville, Oregon. Unfortunately, her horse was reluctant to make the ride back to the Birdseye home just outside the town of Rogue River. While she struggled with Prince, Clarissa noticed someone was watching her efforts.
