Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portland, Oregon, Its History and Builders, Vol. 2: In Connection With the Antecedent Explorations, Discoveries, and Movements of the Pioneers That Selected the Site for the Great City of the Pacific Judge Williams did not retire permanently from public office on leaving the cabinet, for in 1902 Portland honored him with election to the mayoralty, and in municipal affairs he rendered the same just and equitable decisions which marked his national service and at the same time advocated and instituted the spirit of progressiveness, reform and improvement which characterized his en tire administration. He continued an active member of the bar to the last, although in his later days his practice was largely confined to consultations and the preparation of briefs and legal documents. Almost to the closing day of his life he was at his office for several hours every day. With the exception of the brief period of his residence in the capital city he maintained his home in Portland from 1853 and was revered as one of the patriarchal representatives of the community, whose wisdom and experience constitute the springs of much that is stable and permanent in the city's growth. He ever maintained the 'deepest interest in public questions - those which demanded the highest states manship, the most far-reaching policy and the broadest intellectual solution. While in the practice and interpretation of law his life was largely passed, his reading and research compassed many fields of thought and were manifest in his public addresses on many themes of vital interest to state and nation. Early in his career he won and ever maintained a reputation as a clear, forceful and convincing speaker who in addition to powerful logic employed with equal facility and appropriateness illustration and narrative. His lectures upon the subject of Christianity from the standpoint of the historian and logician have commanded the interest and attention of thoughtful persons throughout the country and a valuable contribution to the best writing of the period on this subject is found in his lecture on the divinity of Christ. He was notable as an orator and numerous were the demands made upon him in this connection. He was a strong speaker on public questions, clear, powerful and convincing in his argument and to a rare degree felicitous as a post-prandial orator.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portland, Oregon, Its History and Builders, Vol. 2: In Connection With the Antecedent Explorations, Discoveries, and Movements of the Pioneers That Selected the Site for the Great City of the Pacific Occupying a position of distinctive preferment as a representative of the Oregon bar, connected with the work of the courts both as a jurist and attorney, Hon. Rufus Mallory has also taken part in the work of framing the laws of the state and thus has left his impress deeply upon the history of Portland and of Oregon. A native of New York, he was born in Coventry, Chenango county, June lo, 1831.The ancestral history of the family in America traces back to Peter Mallory, who in 1643 braved the dangers of an ocean voyage at that day to become identified with the colonial interests of New Haven, Connecticut. Among his descendants was David Mallory, who was born in Connecticut, where he spent his entire life, and who during the period of the Revolutionary war joined a regiment of Connecticut troops to battle for the independence of the colonists. His service won recognition in the gift of a land warrant, which was afterward located by his grandson. Samuel Mallory, son of David Mallory, was born in O.xford, Connecticut, August 9, 1782, and in early life settled at Coventry, New York. Subsequently he became a resident of Allegany county, that state, and later of Steuben county. He followed farming throughout his entire life save for a brief period devoted to seafaring. He died at Greenwood, New York, August 19, 1854, in the faith of the Methodist Episcopal church, of which he had long been a devoted member. He married Lucretia Davis, who was a native of Oxford, Connecticut, and also passed away in Greenwood. Her father. Colonel John Davis, was born in New York and was of Welsh descent. He valiantly espoused the cause of the colonists in the Revolutionary war and his bravery and military skill won him promotion to the rank of colonel. He was likewise prominent in the community in which he lived and, in fact, was held in such honor among those with whom he was constantly associated that the anniversary of his birth is still celebrated at High Rock Grove, where he made his home. Unto Samuel and Lucretia Mallory were born nine children: Augustus, who made his home at Heppner, Oregon; Mrs. Maria Slocum, who was also a resident of Heppner; Mrs. Hallock and Mrs. Abigail Wallace, who also lived there; Homer H., of New York; and Rufus, of Portland; George, deceased; Lucius Belvidere; and Sarah, who died in Pennsvlvania. In his boyhood days Rufus Mallory was a pupil in the district schools of Allegany and Steuben counties. New York, and afterward profited by instruction in Alfred University. At the age of sixteen he began teaching school and thereafter for some time divided his time between teaching and attending school. Taking up the study of law with a view of making its practice his life work, he has since eagerly availed himself of any opportunity that would promote his progress in that field, and in his practice has been of able and conscientious service to his clients and has long been recognized as a faithful minister in the temple of justice.

Download or read book Portland written by Heather Arndt Anderson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The infant city called The Clearing was a bald patch amid a stuttering wood. The Clearing was no booming metropolis; no destination for gastrotourists; no career-changer for ardent chefs — just awkward, palsied steps toward Victorian gentility. In the decades before the remaining trees were scraped from the landscape, Portland’s wood was still a verdant breadbasket, overflowing with huckleberries and chanterelles, venison leaping on cloven hoof. Today, Portland is seen as a quaint village populated by trust fund wunderkinds who run food carts each serving something more precious than the last. But Portland’s culinary history actually tells a different story: the tales of the salmon-people, the pioneers and immigrants, each struggling to make this strange but inviting land between the Pacific and the Cascades feel like home. The foods that many people associate with Portland are derived from and defined by its history: salmon, berries, hazelnuts and beer. But Portland is more than its ingredients. Portland is an eater’s paradise and a cook’s playground. Portland is a gustatory wonderland. Full of wry humor and captivating anecdotes, Portland: A Food Biography chronicles the Rose City’s rise from a muddy Wild West village full of fur traders, lumberjacks and ne’er-do-wells, to a progressive, bustling town of merchants, brewers and oyster parlors, to the critical darling of the national food scene. Heather Arndt Anderson brings to life in lively prose the culinary landscape of Portland, then and now.
Download or read book The Great Medicine Road Part 1 written by Michael L. Tate and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-10-22 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1841 and 1866, more than 500,000 people followed trails to Oregon, California, and the Salt Lake Valley in one of the greatest mass migrations in American history. This collection of travelers’ accounts of their journeys in the 1840s, the first volume in a new series of trail narratives, comprises excerpts from pioneer and missionary letters, diaries, journals, and memoirs—many previously unpublished—accompanied by biographical information and historical background. Beginning with Father Pierre-Jean de Smet’s letters relating his encounters with Plains Indians, and ending with an account of a Mormon gold miner’s journey from California to Salt Lake City, these narratives tell varied and vivid stories. Some travelers fled hard times: religious persecution, the collapse of the agricultural economy, illness, or unpredictable weather. Others looked ahead, attracted by California gold, the verdant Willamette Valley of Oregon, or the prospect of converting Native people to Christianity. Although many welcomed the adventure and adjusted to the rigors of trail life, others complained in their accounts of difficulty adapting. Remembrances of the Oregon, California, and Mormon Trails have yielded some of the most iconic images in American history. This and forthcoming volumes in The Great Medicine Road series present the pioneer spirit of the original overlanders supported by the rich scholarship of the past century and a half.

Download or read book History of Seattle Volume 2 written by Clarence B. Bagley and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2017 with total page 651 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The preparation of a "History of Seattle" has been the exploration of a new field and the amount of patient research and careful investigation involved has been a task of colossal proportions. The printed and written records of the first twenty years of Seattle's existence are scanty almost beyond belief. Not until 1863 was a newspaper established there and, for many years, more space in it was devoted to eastern and foreign politics than to the record of local passing events. Few, if any, pioneers kept diaries and none of these, except that of the writer, has been accessible. And yet has this work become one of the most detailed and accurate narratives of the history of this beautiful town on the West coast. A must read - and not only for Seattle citizens. This is volume two out of two.

Download or read book Beyond the Sea of Beer written by Miloslav Rechcigl Jr. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 1523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a comprehensive history of immigrants from the historic lands of the Bohemian Crown and its successor states, including Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic, based on the painstaking lifetime research of the author. The reader will find lots of new information in this book that is not available elsewhere. The title of the book comes from a popular song of the famous Czech artistic duo, Voskovec and Werich, who described America in those words when they lived here, reflecting on their love for this country. It covers the period starting soon after the discovery of the New World to date. The emphasis is on the US, although Canada and Latin America are also covered. It covers the arrival and the settlement of the immigrants in various states and regions of America, their harsh beginnings, the establishment of their communities, and their organization. A separate section is devoted to the contributions of notable individuals in different areas of human endeavor, including Bohemians, Moravians, Bohemian Jews, and the Slovaks. These people excelled in just about every facet of human undertaking. Even though a total number of these immigrants were fewer than other ethnic groups, their accomplishments were phenomenal. Nothing like this has ever been published since the time Thomas Capek wrote his classic The Cechs (Bohemians) in America some one hundred years ago.
