Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Oregon, Vol. 2 of 2: A History, With Portraits and Biographies For a thousand years the billows of the Atlantic stayed their advance. The interval was spent in acquiring skill and stature to qualify themselves for the next stage of the long journey. Forms of religion fought and fell and multiplied; political systems passed through all stages of tyranny on their way toward freedom modern science dawned in the cosmic brain of Bacon, and Shakespeare's hand indited the mighty prelude of a new literature. When the fulness of time was come, the mariner of Genoa led the way whither countless millions were to follow. And in 1624 the Mayflower bore to New Eng land the tiny nucleus oi what was destined, within two hundred and fifty years, to become the mightiest of nations.

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?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Oregon, Vol. 2 For forty years Harvey Whitefield Scott was editor of The Oregonian and in his death the journalistic profession of America lost one of its most brilliant minds, one of its most accomplished scholars, and one of its most vigorous and courageous writers. He was a pioneer and a builder. For nearly a half century he labored for the develop ment of the Pacific coast, and Portland and the surrounding country owe their splendid progress in large measure to the work of this terse conductor of a great newspaper. He possessed those qualities which in the aggregate make what men call character, and this character, shining out through the columns of The Oregonian, has exalted the char acter of the state and the minds of her sons. His birth occurred in Tazewell county, Illinois, February 1, 1838. He came of Scotch ancestry, his paternal forefathers landing at Charleston, South Carolina, in 1755. _his grandparents became residents of Pennsylvania and North Carolina, and his parents, John Tucker and Ann (roelofson) Scott, established their home in Tazewell county, Illinois, where Harvey W. Scott continued to reside until his fourteenth year, becoming inured to a life of severe toil, assisting with the work of the fields during the summer months, while in the winter seasons he attended the district school. In 1852 the family started across the plains to Oregon with ox teams - a journey that was fraught with many dangers and privations. On reaching Oregon they first located in Yamhill county, two of the party, the mother and a brother, having succumbed to the hardships of the journey. The rest of the family resided in that locality for about a year and removed to the Puget Sound country, settling in the vicinity of Olympia, in what is now Mason county, Washington. In the difficult work of clearing the land and preparing the soil for the cultivation of cr0ps Mr. Scott bore his full share and was thus occupied until 1855, when he enlisted as a private in the Washington Territory Volunteers, under Captain Calvin W. Swindall, and for about nine months was engaged in Indian war fare. Subsequently he worked in logging camps, also following surveying and farming until 1857, when he resolved to secure a better education and set out for Oregon City, walking the entire distance from Olympia. For a short time he resided with relatives in Clackamas county, Oregon, attending school in Oregon City, while later he continued his studies at Pacific University at Forest Grove, providing the necessary funds for his education by working as a farm hand in the neighborhood. In 1859 his father returned to Oregon, settling upon a farm three miles west of Forest Grove, and the son then entered Pacific University, where in 1863 he was the first to complete the four years' classical course, thus becoming the first alumnus of the institution. Near his father's place was a sawmill, in which Mr. Scott worked when not employed elsewhere. He was an expert axman, and did a good deal of work in clearing the forest about Forest Grove. He was' fond of the classics and read in the original all the Latin and Greek authors he could find. He possessed a retentive memory and throughout his life pre served a general familiarity with classical literature, being able to quote therefrom with remarkable readiness. Undoubtedly his great literary ability was due in large measure to his study of the classics, and when asked what books in English he regarded as most helpful in creating his literary style, he replied: The speeches of Edmund Burke and the prophecies of Jeremiah and Isaiah in the Old Testament.

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

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.
