A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Oregon Country, so little attention has been given to its political development, in the more restricted sense. The very beginnings of American government in the far west were made in Oregon, yet, so far as an adequate and detailed relation is concerned, that thrilling and critical period of a quarter of a century folbwing the setting up of the Provisional Government in 1843, has been heretofore neglected. Early in this period Oregon was organized as a territory of the United States, the debate on the territorial bill giving rise to the enunciation by Calhoun of the partnership doctrine of theS outhern Democracy, which led eventually to secession. Territorial organization was quickly followed by party organization on the basis of national political alignment. National issues were fought out in the far distant territory with the same passion and desperation that marked the struggle at theN ation scapital. Political capacity and leadership of a high order were developed in the field of frontier politics. Stirring indeed were the ante-bellum days in far away Oregon! Every great question or movement of national import, be it political, social or economic, was quickly reflected in the columns of theO regon newspapers. And dominating all was that of slavery, which institution threatened for a time to fasten itself upon the virgin soil of the Pacific Northwest. It was the period of the great national crisis in which the secession element made a strong bid forO regon, but was frustrated by the union of toyal Democrats andR epublicans. It is the story of this period of storm and stress and crisis, vital in its import, spectacular in its expression, that the writer, himself anO regonian, has attempted to narrate. He has aspired, first to gve the facts, and second by a vivid portrajral to reproduce something of the spirit of those politically strenuoua years.
