Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

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.

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. Tﬂ' Where their campfire smoke has curled, our banner was unfurled; their cabins rose in air, building house more fair. Ouri's tawny ﬂood, painted savage stood, acific's golden gate, were building house of state. Of hand and heart and eye, were building to the sky. They builded; 'neath their domes empires have their homes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes of Earlier Days in Crossing the Plains to Oregon: And Experiences of Western Life Those who did not cross the plains, either to Oregon or California, in an early day have but little knowledge of the hardships endured by the way, or after their arrival at their future homes. I have frequently conversed with those who went to Oregon from 1843 to 1845 and '46 and after their arrival had to live on acorns for six weeks without meat. There were no cattle at the time in the country fit for beef, and game was very scarce, and even if it had been plenty hunting it on an acorn breakfast would have been very hard work Even after our arrival in Oregon at a later date, 1851, provisions were very scarce. The winter of 1852-53 for more than a month there was no flour to be had and no meat and we paid $8.50 for fifty pounds of very poor shorts and glad to get it at that price. In the spring a cargo of Chile flour came in and when we bought it we had to sieve out the long woolly worms and eat it or starve. In talking with friends about the scenes of earlier days and experiences of western life I have been frequently asked why do you not write them out and have them published in book form. My reply has been it always looked egotistical for a man to publish his own autobiography The reply was this is not your autobiography, but actual history that helps to tell about the settlement of the great west, a subject in which old and young are, or should be, deeply interested.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Unmolested for twenty years, the British fur-traders had reared their palisades and filled their forts with furs. That the young republic on the Atlantic Shore might stretch her fingers westward, that a highway might be found across the mountains - these were vague contingencies!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Centennial History of Oregon, 1811-1912, Vol. 2: Illustrated In May, 1901, Mr. Thompson left home for a trip around the world, but had pro ceeded eastward only as far as Iowa when he became ill and was obliged to return home. He never fully recovered and passed away on the 14th of December, 1901. The press oi the entire country commented upon his death in terms of commendation and of respect. Said one of the journals of Walla Walla, Washington: The Walla Walla friends of the late D. P. Thompson of Portland are pro foundly grieved to learn of his death. Mr. Thompson was for years during his lifetime connected with the financial institutions of Walla Walla and had always taken a lively interest in the progress of the Garden city. He was a man highly respected by everyone who knew him. He acquired wealth and ih ﬂuence in both public and private life by reason of his close application to work and his constant effort to progress in all walks of life. He came to the Pacific coast a pioneer and by his own indomitable will and courage, in the face of obstacles, made his mark among his fellowmen. Mr. Thompson was a most generous man. His benevolence fostered many good works and his helpful aid tided many an institu tion and individual over a critical period. The Oregonian said of him: Occasionally a man carves out a fortune by dint of toil and the exercise of foresight and then proceeds to make his fellowmen the better for his hav ing lived and grown rich. David P. Thomp son was of this class. His life is to be cited as an example of the possibilities of human nature untarnished by the corrupting inﬂu ence of gold. His was a career that Spurs on young men to strive for the better part. D. P. Thompson stood for higher education. His inﬂuence went for the upbuilding of all institutions that make for mind improve ment. He was distinctively a friend of the younger generation who aspire to climb the ladder of intellectual achievement. Oregon owes him a debt of gracious memory for what he did for the schools of the state. And in what other sphere does not the same apply?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Oregon: Jottings of Personal Recollections of a Pioneer of 1850 During the month of October, 1850, there were fitted out in San Francisco three brigs, suitable for carrying passengers, which were advertised for sailing during that month to the mouth of the Umpqua river. No American vessel had ever entered that port before. The mines had been discovered in northern California, and a company had been organized in San Francisco to locate townsites on the Umpqua river. The townsite at the mouth of the river was called Umpqua City. Up the river at the head of navigation was Scottsburg; farther up, near the site of the post of the Hudson Bay Company, was Elkton, and still farther up, on the trail from Oregon to California, was Winchester. This route was intended to reach the northern California mines. Flaming hand-bills were posted showing the advantages of the route and advertising the cities as before named. Plats of these new cities were made out, and lots were offered for sale at public auction at real estate offices in San Francisco.
