This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As her family traveled the Oregon Trail in 1852, Mary Ellen Todd taught herself to crack the ox whip. Though gender roles often blurred on the trail, families quickly tried to re-establish separate roles for men and women once they had staked their claims. For Mary Ellen Todd, who found a “secret joy in having the power to set things moving,” this meant trading in the ox whip for the more feminine butter churn. In Gender and Generation on the Far Western Frontier, Cynthia Culver Prescott expertly explores the shifting gender roles and ideologies that countless Anglo-American settlers struggled with in Oregon’s Willamette Valley between 1845 and 1900. Drawing on traditional social history sources as well as divorce records, married women’s property records, period photographs, and material culture, Prescott reveals that Oregon settlers pursued a moving target of middle-class identity in the second half of the nineteenth century. Prescott traces long-term ideological changes, arguing that favorable farming conditions enabled Oregon families to progress from accepting flexible frontier roles to participating in a national consumer culture in only one generation. As settlers’ children came of age, participation in this new culture of consumption and refined leisure became the marker of the middle class. Middle-class culture shifted from the first generation’s emphasis on genteel behavior to a newer genteel consumption. This absorbing volume reveals the shifting boundaries of traditional women’s spheres, the complicated relationships between fathers and sons, and the second generation’s struggle to balance their parents’ ideology with a changing national sense of class consciousness.

Excerpt: ...As stated in the headline to this diary the winter of 186162 was the most severe of any known in the Pacific Northwest from its earliest settlement. The first snow fall in the Willamette Valley occurred on November 15. Previous to that date it had rained hard almost continuously for several days in all the valleys on the coast, and at the same time there was a heavy fall of snow in the higher altitudes in the Cascade and Coast ranges. Then a sudden change to unusually warm weather occurred which melted the snow in these ranges and caused a flood in all the streams draining the valleys. Between the second and sixth of December the Willamette river was fifty-five feet above low water mark at Oregon City, and was at extra flood stage its entire length, thus causing a loss of property estimated at the time at a half million dollars. At Oregon City alone the damage was easily over $170,000. Then about the middle of December a "cold snap" came and lasted for fully two months, much of the time below freezing point, and occasionally below zero. During this period there were heavy falls of snow all over the country, both east and west of the Cascade range, and it remained on the ground in the western and southern Oregon valleys over fifty consecutive days, and in eastern Oregon a much longer time, with the temperature frequently below zero, and occasionally as much as thirty degrees. Altogether the floods and extreme cold weather following, prolonged as the latter was, caused a loss of property approximately one million dollars; and worst of all, a number of lives by drowning and freezing.--George H. Himes, Secretary. MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.. Portland, March 13, 1916. The Board of Directors of the Oregon Pioneer Association...

This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If you seek vicarious adventure, these pages await the armchair explorer.” —Providence Journal In 1804, John Colter set out with Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on the first US expedition to traverse the North American continent. During the 28- month ordeal, Colter served as a hunter and scout, and honed his survival skills on the western frontier. But when the journey was over, Colter stayed behind. He spent two more years trekking alone through dangerous and unfamiliar territory, charting some of the West’s most treasured landmarks. Historian David W. Marshall crafts this captivating history from Colter’s primary sources, and has retraced Colter’s steps— experiencing firsthand how he survived in the wilderness (how he pitched a shelter, built a fire, followed a trail, and forded a stream)— adding a powerful layer of authority and detail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How providential history—the conviction that God is an active agent in human history—has shaped the American historical imagination In 1847, Protestant missionary Marcus Whitman was killed after a disastrous eleven-year effort to evangelize the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest. By 1897, Whitman was a national hero, celebrated in textbooks, monuments, and historical scholarship as the “Savior of Oregon.” But his fame was based on a tall tale—one that was about to be exposed. Sarah Koenig traces the rise and fall of Protestant missionary Marcus Whitman’s legend, revealing two patterns in the development of American history. On the one hand is providential history, marked by the conviction that God is an active agent in human history and that historical work can reveal patterns of divine will. On the other hand is objective history, which arose from the efforts of Catholics and other racial and religious outsiders to resist providentialists’ pejorative descriptions of non†‘Protestants and nonwhites. Koenig examines how these competing visions continue to shape understandings of the American past and the nature of historical truth.
