Oregon: This Storied Landby William G. Robbins
Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:Robbins, a retired professor of history at Oregon State University
and author of other books on Oregon, attempts to present an
evenhanded history of the state, looking both at the positive aspects
as well as the "darker side." Beginning with the land and the native
culture, Robbins describes Oregon in the context of the arrival of
Europeans, immigrants, social, economic and political relations in
the nineteenth century, changing times during the twentieth century,
including the Depression and World Wars. He explores the history of
education and culture, as well as the changing economy of the last
few decades. Distributed by the U. of Washington Press.
