This book is a first person account of Oregon History from the 1850,s to the 1880,s and a bit more. has the feel of speaking with Mark Twain, with just a little less Yarning. I live in Oregon and found this book to be fascinating and inspiring, as to wanting to travel around and see more of the places he speaks about. This was a Good Read.
