ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Research for this book was begun by the WPA Oregon Writers' Project in 1936, under the general supervision of Dean Alfred Powers. Five or six persons worked on it until 1938 when Howard McKinley Corning was assigned to write the final draft. At the time the Writers' project was terminated, in 1942, the manuscript had not yet been published, and was sent with other material to the Oregon State Library at Salem. The manuscript was released to the Oregon Historical Society in 1945, and for final revision was turned over to Mr. Corning, who has thus prepared the present copy as well as doing much of the research. However, special acknowledgments must be made to the work done by Verne Bright, the book's first editor, and to Charles Oluf Olsen, Joseph H. McLaughlin, Curtis Merrick, Andrew Sherbert and Robert Wilmot. Credit is also due to Clare Warner Churchill, under whose direct supervision the work was carried on during 1937–41. Finally, the completed manuscript, as it here appears in book form, was read and helpful suggestions were made by Mrs. Lewis A. McArthur.

Permission to reprint in this revised form and under present sponsorship is by Luther H. Evans, Librarian of Congress.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was legally published within the United States (or the United Nations Headquarters in New York subject to Section 7 of the United States Headquarters Agreement) before 1964, and copyright was not renewed.

Works published in 1947 would have had to renew their copyright in either 1974 or 1975, i.e. at least 27 years after they were first published/registered but not later than 31 December in the 28th year. As this work's copyright was not renewed, it entered the public domain on 1 January 1976.


The longest-living author of this work died in 1977, so this work is in the public domain in countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 46 years or less. This work may be in the public domain in countries and areas with longer native copyright terms that apply the rule of the shorter term to foreign works.

It is imperative that contributors search the renewal databases and ascertain that there is no evidence of a copyright renewal before using this license. Failure to do so will result in the deletion of the work as a copyright violation.
