Excerpt from In the Oregon Country: Out-Doors in Oregon, Washington, and California, Together With Some Legendary Lore, and Glimpses of the Modern West in the Making So, because I like the spirit of the following pages, admire the method of their presentation, and deeply desire to promote the success of all that will tend toward a larger appreciation of Oregon's possibilities, I recommend this book to the con sideration of dwellers on the Pacific Coast, and those who desire to form acquaintance with the land it concerns.
