Excerpt from Stories of Oregon To The Native Daughters of Oregon Along the fair Pacific slope, A chain of sea-kissed, sun-kissed lands, - Green orchards bend with endless bloom. Bright rivers roll o'er golden sands. Like sentinels the white peaks rise That guard this New World paradise. Deep in her valleys genius waits To nurse awhile her tropic bloom, That yet shall burst and bear abroad Immortal cycles of perfume. Sierra's heights, Willamette's vales, Thy inland seas and southland sun, As fairer yet shall yet surpass Old Delphi's fount and Helicon. - Eva Emery Dye.

Excerpt from Stories of Old Oregon Oregon's Pioneers. How shall a tale of the West be told? Who will write it in letters of gold? Where is the one whose magic pen Shall make its heroes live again? Heroes who made a desert sod, Touched as if by Aaron's rod, Blossom o'er its wide domain With flowers, fruit, and golden grain. Patriots who watch and ward did keep While all the nation was asleep; Till every hill and every vale Held touching, tragic, thrilling tale; And western soil, from flood to flood, Was enriched with patriot blood. Where their campfire smoke has curled, There our banner was unfurled; While their cabins rose in air, They were building house more fair. From Missouri's tawny flood, Where the painted savage stood, The Pacific's golden gate, They were building house of state. The of hand and heart and eye, They were building to the sky. Well they builded; 'neath their domes States and empires have their homes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from History of Oregon The generation that dared the great adventure has passed away, excepting as a few survivors linger upon the stage to pronounce the epilogue of the drama of the pioneer. The deeply furrowed trail is superseded by the boule vard, and the OX wagon is transformed into the motor car, while the halting and limping despatches of the earlier time may now be delivered by the audible voice or by wireless pulsations across the vast stretches of the continent. The frugal and primitive makeshifts of the early settler-have given way to the surfeit of a luxurious age in a land of plenty. Cities and ports have been builded, the flow of streams has been converted to light and power, the buried treasures of the mountains have been brought forth, the forest-clad fields have yielded to the ax and the plow, and irrigation has aided in making glad the barren places. Thousands have followed to the 'land by the Western Sea and have found home and comfort there. This transformation from the era of the fur trader and the canoeman within the lifetime 'of persons still living is an old tale and often told. The literature of ancient Greece has preserved for all time the flavor of the romance and the poetry of that country and of its ancient people. The stories of heroes, and the folk tales of myth and of fancy that cluster about, early'roman history, have been made imperishable by poets and writers of the olden times. The chivalry of the middle ages, with its charm of romantic sentiment and incident, is imbedded in the world's priceless literature. Just so, the genius of Sir Walter Scott created and preserved for all time living pictures of Scottish life in its verdant setting of hills and plains, lakes and swift-rush'ing tarns. In truth, therefore, while history has its value, its province is limited, and ultimately it must be supplemented by literature; fact must be touched by the golden wand of genius and embellished with the ornament of imagination.

Excerpt from Happy Valley: A Story of Oregon I turned over in bed and fixed my gaze on the wallpaper. It was yellowed with age, blistered, and cracked. The design, a sickly, greenish vine which wriggled its way around a brown lattice, seemed a drunken, staggering thing. I traced the design to where it began and ended, began and ended, in dizzying reiteration. A cracked blister moved, a small brown bug crept horridly out from underneath. I shivered back into the sleazy bed ding, and tried frantically to fix my eyes on some thing less nauseating.

Excerpt from Antoine of Oregon: A Story of the Oregon Trail The author of this series of stories for children has endeavored simply to show why and how the descendants of the early colonists fought their way through the wilderness in search of new homes. The several narratives deal with the struggles of those adventurous people who forced their way westward, ever westward, whether in hope of gain or in answer to "the call of the wild," and who, in so doing, wrote their names with their blood across this country of ours from the Ohio to the Columbia. To excite in the hearts of the young people of this land a desire to know more regarding the building up of this great nation, and at the same time to entertain in such a manner as may stimulate to noble deeds, is the real aim of these stories.

Excerpt from From the West to the West: Across the Plains to Oregon The events of pioneer life, which form the groundwork of this story, are woven into a composite whole by memory and imagination. But they are not personal, nor do they present the reader, except in a fragmentary and romantic sense, with the actual, individual lives of borderers I have known. The story, nevertheless, is true to life and border history; and, no matter what may be the fate of the book, the facts it delineates will never die.

Excerpt from Early Days in Old Oregon Old Oregon was a mighty sweep of country, and a most romantic one. From the northern border of Mexican California to near Sitka in Russian America it stretched, nearly eight hundred miles. Eastward it stretched over a country of mighty mountain ranges from which at regular intervals rose the snow peaks, ever glistening white, over a country of dense forests, of mighty rivers and foaming mountain torrents, over a country of sand and sagebrush, and on still eastward over the cut-rock desert where "men had songs for supper" and where no game could live, on and on eastward nearly a thousand miles until the limits of the Oregon country, at the crest of the main range of the Rockies, met the old-time, unknown Louisiana. The romance ever lingers. Still, as one stands on the green prairie at Fort Vancouver, for so many years the center of civilization on the lonely coast of Oregon, one hears echoes of the Brigade of Boats coming down the Columbia; still one hears the gay voices of the voyageurs singing in time to the dip of the paddle. Romance still lingers in vague tales of the blue-coated, brass-buttoned Hudson's Bay Company men who followed the forest trails.

Excerpt from The Story of Oregon and Its People To the student of human affairs the history of the settlement of Oregon will ever be a tale of absorbing interest. Coming as the last of those westward movements by which the American commonwealths were peopled, Oregon more closely typifies the home-seeking and the home-making spirit of the Saxon race than any of her sister states. The early pioneers of Oregon were not driven to make the hazardous journey by the lash of religious persecution, nor were they impelled to brave the hardships of the plains and mountains by the desire for gold. Sustained only by the ambition to found a home for themselves and their children in the distant West, or led by the unselfish zeal of the missionary, they went about their task soberly and seriously, and with a resolute purpose that never faltered in the presence of danger. Certainly the children of no land under the sun have a nobler heritage of brave and honest ancestry than those of Oregon, and if The Story Of Oregon And Its People shall bring this fact and its message closer to the hearts of the young it will have served the purpose for which it was written.

Excerpt from The Smiting of the Rock: A Tale of Oregon The refreshing Spirit Of this pleasurable outlook infused the traveler, filling him with carefree con tent. Just then, if Chance had sought to make capital of his optimistic good nature he might have been bent to almost any purpose. But Chance left him SO undisturbedly drinking in the visual magnificence Of the Columbia country that shortly he was satiated with the very glory Of it, and sought something less overwhelming to look upon. From his pocket he extracted a much-handled map, and spreading it out upon his knees, for the twentieth time delved into its allurements. It was a normal folder, with the United States ironed out encouragingly and SO fashioned that the red-printed route Of the railroad whose name it bore was by all Odds the straightest and Shortest between the two oceans. Railroad map makers, he mused, long since discarded the copybook axiom that a straight line is the Shortest dis tance between two points, substituting there for the ukase that their own roads must always appear as the shortest, whatever their actual in directions.

Excerpt from History of Early Days in Oregon It is needless to say that in our neighborhood there was great plan ning to come to Oregon. Farms were offered for sale, but there were few buyers. My father alone succeeded in selling his farm, and no doubt at a great sacrifice. As I remember, my father received about $3000 for 160 acres of finest farming land and 40 acres of timber land in the San gamon river bottom.
