From Henry E. Dosch, Director of Exhibits at Lewis and Clark Exposition at Portland.
“Every home in Oregon might well welcome this condensed, readable ‘History of Oregon,’ and, most important of all, the school children of the State are entitled to an opportunity to study it, to the end that the history of the State and the great and memorable achievement of Lewis and Clark may be intelligently understood and appreciated by every man, woman, and child in Oregon before the opening of the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition.”
Letters from an Oregon Ranch
- By “Katharine.” With twelve full-page illustrations from photographs. Square 8vo. $1.25 net.
The hours of delight, as well as those of trial, which fall to the lot of “Katharine,” in creating a home out of the raw materials of nature, are chronicled with naïve humor, and in a vein of hearty optimism which will make a universal appeal. This year the eyes of the entire country are on Oregon, and it is expected that a book of this kind, giving such an illuminating idea of the country, will be of great interest. The photographs which illustrate the volume are of remarkable beauty.
From the West to the West
Across the Plains to Oregon
- By Abigail Scott Duniway. With frontispiece in color. 12mo. $1.50.
A chronicle and remarkable picture of a group of pioneers in their journeyings across the plains and their subsequent settling in Oregon. The characters are of the distinctive class of Western emigrant of fifty years ago, resourceful, independent, and progressive, and in their conversation and experiences give a vivid account of a phase of American social life that has passed, as well as foreshadowing the active and productive period that was to follow. Though a faithful account of an actual journey, the book is in the form of fiction, and brings the course of several romances to a successful end.
These books are for sale by all booksellers, or will be sent by the publishers on receipt of price. An extra for postage will be made on “net” books.
