Excerpt from The Story of Oregon and Its People To the student of human afi' airs the history of the settlement of Oregon will ever be a tale of absorbing interest. Coming as the last of those westward move ments by which the. American commonwealths were peopled, Oregon more closely typifies the home-seeking and the home-making spirit of the Saxon race than any of her sister states. The early pioneers of Oregon were not driven to make the hazardous journey by the lash of religious persecution, nor were they impelled to brave the hard ships of the plains and mountains by the desire for gold. Sustained only by the ambition to found a home for themselves and their children in the distant West, or led by the unselfish zeal of the missionary, they went about their task soberly and seriously, and with a resolute purpose that never faltered in the presence of danger. Certainly the children of no land under the sun have a nobler heritage of brave and honest ancestry than those of Oregon, and if the story OF oregon and its people shall bring this fact and its mes sage closer to the hearts of the young it will have served the purpose for which it was written.
