Book Description
Excerpt from Portland, Oregon, Its History and Builders, Vol. 1: In Connection With the Antecedent Explorations, Discoveries, and Movements of the Pioneers That Selected the Site for the Great City of the PacificThe preparation, of this work was undertaken at the suggestion of the late Harvey W. Scott. Having prepared a history of the city twenty years ago, and being familiar with the whole history of Oregon and Portland, the publishers were anxious to secure his services in bringing out a later and more extended review of the still greater city. But the hands of the great editor were fully occupied; and great cares pressed upon his time and strength. Deeply interested in this, as in all other things making for the history and development of the city, he had done so much to build up, he turned to the undersigned and urged him to undertake the task of which this book is the result; and at the same time pledging the assistance of his advice and counsel. His invaluable assistance was not to be realized. Already overburdened with great work he hoped to accomplish, his assistance could not be given beyond the generous grant and authority to use any and all of his many contributions to the history of Portland and Oregon.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Centennial History of Oregon, 1811-1912, Vol. 1 The author and publishers of this work having in 1910 brought out a history of the City of Portland, entitled Portland and its Builders, which received such a flattering support from the citizens of Portland, they were encouraged thereby to undertake the greater and more important work of the History of the State, including, as it does, the history of the Old Oregon Country.

Author: Jonathan Swainger Publisher: UBC Press ISBN: 0774840331 Category : Law Languages : en Pages : 257
Book Description
The collection represents a rich array of interdisciplinary expertise, with authors who are law professors, historians, sociologists and criminologists. Their essays include studies into the lives of judges and lawyers, rape victims, prostitutes, religious sect leaders, and common criminals. The geographic scope touches Canada, the United States and Australia. The essays explore how one individual, or small self-identified groups, were able to make a difference in how law was understood, applied, and interpreted. They also probe the degree to which locale and location influenced legal culture history.

Book Description
Between 1841 and 1866, more than 500,000 people followed trails to Oregon, California, and the Salt Lake Valley in one of the greatest mass migrations in American history. This collection of travelers’ accounts of their journeys in the 1840s, the first volume in a new series of trail narratives, comprises excerpts from pioneer and missionary letters, diaries, journals, and memoirs—many previously unpublished—accompanied by biographical information and historical background. Beginning with Father Pierre-Jean de Smet’s letters relating his encounters with Plains Indians, and ending with an account of a Mormon gold miner’s journey from California to Salt Lake City, these narratives tell varied and vivid stories. Some travelers fled hard times: religious persecution, the collapse of the agricultural economy, illness, or unpredictable weather. Others looked ahead, attracted by California gold, the verdant Willamette Valley of Oregon, or the prospect of converting Native people to Christianity. Although many welcomed the adventure and adjusted to the rigors of trail life, others complained in their accounts of difficulty adapting. Remembrances of the Oregon, California, and Mormon Trails have yielded some of the most iconic images in American history. This and forthcoming volumes in The Great Medicine Road series present the pioneer spirit of the original overlanders supported by the rich scholarship of the past century and a half.
