A classic repository of knowledge,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: General History of Oregon (Hardcover)
Now in its third edition, General History of Oregon by Charles H. Carey is an exhaustive, complete-in-one-volume, 916 page history of the Oregon Territory. An impressive, definitive, meticulously researched history ranging from the days of Spanish explorers in the New World to the opening years of Oregon's statehood, General History Of Oregon is a classic repository of knowledge, informed and informative reading, and highly recommended for academic American History reference shelves and supplemental reading lists.

THE book on Oregon and Northwest History,
By
This review is from: General History of Oregon (Hardcover)
I found this gem in a non-chain bookstore in Eugene. (The Book Mark) Having lived in Oregon for 20 years, I have always been interested in the history of why Oregon is so unique and such a wonderful place to live. This Book covers it all! From the Spanish and English ships of the 1500's to the late 1800's this book covers in very readable detail the who, what, where, when, how, and why things happened as they did. If you confine yourself to the adventures of Lewis and Clark for your Oregon history, you'll miss some of the best stories about how this area was developed and people who developed it. I higly recommend this great work to anyone who is serious about wanting to know the complete history of the region.
