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 The deeply furrowed trail is superseded by the boule vard, and the OX wagon is transformed into the motor car, while the halting and limping despatches of the earlier time may now be delivered by the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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oregon Territory, Its History and Discovery The object which the author had in view, in instituting the accompanying inquiry into the historical facts and the negotiations connected with the Oregon Territory, was to contribute, as tar as his individual services night avail, to the peaceful solution of the question at issue between the United States of America and Great Britain. He could not resist the conviction, on reading several able treatises on the subject, that the case of the United States had been overstated by her writers and negotiators; and the perusal of Mr. Greenhow's Official Memoir, and subsequent history of Oregon and California, confirmed him in this impression, as they sought to establish more than was consistent with the acknowledged difficulty of a question, which has now been the subject of four fruitless negotiations. He determined, in consequence of this conviction, to investigate carefully the records of ancient discoveries and other matters of history connected with the north-west coast of America, concerning which much contradictory statement is to be met with in writers of acknowledged reputation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneer Catholic History of Oregon This little book, the product of spare moments, has been written to help make better known the story of those Catholic pioneers of the Oregon Country whose names even now seem to be borne down to us from a distant heroic past. Blanchet, DeSmet and McLoughlin are the names of heroes. No prouder names are inscribed on the honor roll of pioneer missionaries and empire builders of the Western hemisphere. No effort has been made in these pages to pronounce a eulogy upon them; their best eulogy is a simple narrative of their lives and deeds. The manuscript Memoirs of Most Rev. F. X. Blanchet, by Major Mallet and the large collection of Letters and Documents in the Archdiocesan Archives in Portland, have yielded much material here published for the first time.

Download or read book History of Oregon Vol 1 written by Hubert Howe Bancroft and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-25 with total page 834 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Oregon, Vol. 1: 1834-1848 The more remote in Oregon affairs has been given in my History of the Northwest Coast, which is indeed a part of the History of Oregon, as elsewhere ex plained. The later volumes deal with events which occurred within the memory of men now living; they are wrought out from yet more original sources, a large proportion of the facts herein presented never having before appeared in print. Obviously it is more difficult to treat fully and fairly a comparatively modern epoch, from absolutely crude material, than an earlier one which has been worked over by scholars for centuries. Of the hundreds of personal narratives which have been placed before me by those who as sisted in making the history, no two wholly agree; and yet to the careful student, with all the evidence before him, the truth is generally clear. The leading features of this history are not found in bloody conquests inspired by the thirst for gain and glory united to the hope of winning heaven, but in the more gentle purpose of adding to the enjoyments of earth by commerce and agriculture, the fur com pany, the missionaries of different sects soon converted into rival traders, and the middle class from the United States, all contributing of their several characteristics to form a society at once individual and independent.
