History and biography of the Pacific Northwest; local history for towns in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and British Columbia.
Excerpt from The Oregonian's Handbook of the Pacific Northwest In the Northwest, nature has done everything on the most lavish scale. The mountains are high, the prairies are broad, the rivers are wide and the resources are inexhaustible. The country has made wonderful advancement during the past IO years and it is not improbable that the next IO years' growth will cause the Pacific Northwest to rank among the well settled parts of the United States. The many carefully written articles which will be found in other parts of The Handbook on the various resources of the Northwest give much valuable informa tion on the extent of these resources and the opportunities afforded for their develop ment. The reliability of the statements made in these articles is borne out by much statistical matter, carefully gathered. The development of the many resources of the Northwest has but reached the stage where their value has been accurately de termined. It is but a few years since, that all of this country was a trackless wilder ness. In the early 4o's and so's a few intrepid adventurers braved death by starvation in crossing the plains to Oregon. These early pioneers scattered out among the valleys and hills of this region and they thus formed a superficial knowledge of the great diversity of its resources. Some of these men returned to their homes in the East, and the stories they told there of the possibilities for future growth in the Northwest were directly responsible for the large immigration which poured into the then territories of Oregon and Washington a few years later.

Excerpt from The China or Denny Pheasant in Oregon: With Notes on the Native Grouse of the Pacific Northwest Down almost to a cone, yet so bold as to form a landmark toward which wandering Oregonians of the Willamette turn fondly as to scenes of earlier days. Close by to the north flows the graceful Santiam fresh from mountains of fir and alder from which it comes, step by step, over beautiful waterfalls, sparkling cascades, and swirling eddies, murmuring there the subdued song of a high-altitude water-thread, by whose side the weary dust-worn desert traveller, from the sage plains far to the east, drinks and is rested. Below, it flows calmly on across broad prairies to join the beautiful Willamette. Here, by stream and butte, among the hills and grassy slopes, was liberated the China or Denny pheasant, destined to become with remarkable rapidity Oregon's most renowned game-bird.

Excerpt from Young Northwest Many years ago, the noted California historian, Hubert Howe Bancroft, told the story of the Pacific Northwest in several fat volumes. Although he wrote nearly two million words, he did not carry the narrative beyond the late eighties. I have tried to tell the same story - in its entirety - in fewer than 70,000 words! Of necessity, great names have been omitted and significant events have been passed over. Still I believe that the main current of this dramatic narrative will be found on the pages which follow. I am indebted to various friends who have offered valuable suggestions and to many authors, living and dead, whose works I have consulted. Most of all, I am grateful to Miss Nellie B. Pipes of the Oregon Historical Society, and to Mr. Walter W. R. May of the Portland General Electric Company, who - cheerfully and without a whimper - undertook the thankless task of checking the manuscript.
