Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portland and Vicinity One can imagine the delight, when this land was new and clothed with R the glamour of surprise, of sailing from the surges of the Atlantic into the sheltered roadsteads of this bay, along the green shores of its forest-crowned islands and out-reaching peninsulas, far into the heart of the land, where the placid waters reflected in their cool depths the verdant foliage which over hung them, in the silence and seclusion of a solitude unbroken save by the songs of birds of varied plumage flitting through the forest primeval. No element of beauty was wanting to this miniature archipelago, and the native inhabitants, who had an eye for sunny spots and grassy glades, made it a place of frequent resort. They found in its waters an inexhaustible supply of provisions, and the evidences of their feasts still remain in the heaps of clam-shells found on the shores of the islands.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portrait and Biographical Record of Portland and Vicinity, Oregon: Containing Original Sketches of Many Well Known Citizens of the Past and Present Few. Indeed. Are those unfamiliar with the thrilling experiences of Meriwether Lewis and Clark, who at the instigation of President Jefferson set out on their perilous northwest expedition just a century ago. The succeeding pathfinders and pioneers have been no less ardent in their hopes and ambitions, and as a result of their untiring efforts and untold hardships we to-dav find Oregon taking high rank in the galaxy of our western states. When we study the progress Oregon has made in the last century we are led to the conclusion that the present gratifying condition is due to the enterprise of public spirited citizens. They have not only de veloped commercial possibilities and agricultural resources, but they have also maintained a commendable interest in public affairs. And have given to their commonwealth some of its ablest statesmen. The prosperity of the past has been gratifying and with the increasing of railroad facili ties and with the further development of resources. There is every reason to believe that the twentieth centurv will witness a most marvelous growth in this part of our countrv. In no other locality of the state perhaps have the results ofa centurv of civilization been more noticeable than in the city of Portland and the surrounding countrv.

Download or read book Portland written by John Neal and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portland: Illustrated That Portland has never had justice, nor indeed, anything like justice done her, begins to be felt and acknowledged by pleasure-seekers and the great business-world. Her capabilities, advantages and resources are found to be absolutely surprising, when carefully investigated; so that, in giving an account of them, one can hardly avoid the appearance of great exaggeration. Whole generations have passed away since our ship-building, our fisheries, our lumbering operations, our adventurous temper, and the beauty of our women; our commercial enterprize, and our readiness to take the field with "a fire in our bones," whenever called upon by our country, or threatened by interlopers, red men or white, have been talked about over sea, and everywhere among ourselves, more as if we were not only "a peculiar people zealous of good works," but numerous, warlike and powerful, with slumbering energies of a somewhat dangerous character, than as a small, sober, christianized community, self-possessed, industrious and thrifty, and at home everywhere, on land or sea. Beginning with a liberal contribution of men to our first Indian war, of 167.5, and furnishing four companies in 174.5, finishing off with five thousand altogether in the Great Rebellion, to say nothing of intermediate periods, nothing of the second Indian war in 1688, when Portland, then Falmouth, was utterly destroyed for the second time, and the whole population, amounting to six or seven hundred, were obliged to flee for their lives, followed by the French and their savage alies, until Church, who had been so greatly distinguished in the war with Philip of Mount-Hope, came to their relief with six or eight companies; nothing of Louisburg and the French war; nothing of the Revolutionary war in 1770, when the town was laid in ashes by Mo watt; nothing of the Mexican war, and the war with Great Britian from 1812 to 1815, Portland never shrank, nor faltered, in the discharge of her duty to herself and her country. But notwithstanding these wars, and the terrible embargo which desolated our wharves, and the non-importation acts, and non-intercourse laws, Portland continued her flourishing career.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Portland Sketch Book The object of the Portland Sketch-Book, is to collect in a small compass, literary specimens from such authors as have a just claim to be styled Portland writers. The list might have been extended to a much greater length, had all been included who have made our city a place of transient residence; but no writer has a place in this volume who is not, or has not been, a citizen of Portland, either by birth or a long residence. Therefore, all the names contained in these pages are emphatically those of Portland authors. Among those who were actually born here and either wholly, or in part educated here, will be found the following names, most of which are already known to the world of literature. S. B. Beckett - James Brooks - William Cutter - Charles S. Daveis - Nathaniel Deering - P. H. Greenleaf - Charles P. Ilsley - Joseph Ingraham - Geo. W. Light - Henry W.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Port of Portland, Maine Among the important objects which it is hoped to attain by these reports is a more general appreciation of the benefits to be derived from proper development of our ports. Transportation is a service whose benefits are in proportion to its completeness. The absence of any one essential may prevent what should be an economical route or port from securing its commensurate business. The trouble may be the lack of adequate terminals, the absence of storage facili ties, the imposition of excessive switching and wharfage charges, the lack of well-balanced cargoes and frequent sailings, insufficient ch nels, or other conditions affecting the movement of goods through the port and the ability of vessels frequenting it to earn a fair revenue.

Download or read book History of Portland Oregon written by Harvey Whitefield Scott and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 928 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Portland, Oregon: With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Prominent Citizens and Pioneers Hitherto there has been no attempt to write a History of Portland. Slight sketches of the history of the city have, indeed, been written, but nothing that answers to the importance of the subject has here tofore been undertaken. For conception and execution of the present work the city is indebted to D. Mason Co., a firm of enter prising publishers of Syracuse, New York. Learning that no general history of Portland had yet appeared, these publishers offered to undertake the work and to collect the materials for it. Aware, how ever, that it was necessary that these materials should be subjected to local editorial supervision, they requested me to perform that duty. Though my own daily employments were very exacting, I consented to do so. The result is now submitted to the public. My own work therefore has been that of editor rather than author. Some parts of the book I have written, and all of it, except portions of the biographical matter, I have revised with as much diligence as possible. Yet I cannot hope that the book is free from errors. Much has been handed down from memory, and inaccuracies therefore are unavoidable. Acknowledgments are due chiefly to O. F. Vedder, H. S. Lyman and C. H. Carey for the matter of this volume. All these have worked diligently in collection and preparation of the materials. The bio graphical matter has been contributed by many hands, and Mr. Vedder has bestowed much labor upon it. The special work of Mr. Carey is the important and. Exhaustive chapter on Bench and Bar.
