3.0 out of 5 stars
Adequate overview of politician's life,
By A Customer
This review is from: Oregon Cattleman/Governor, Congressman: The Memoirs and Times of Walter M. Pierce. Ed and Expanded by Arthur H. Bone (Paperback)
This book, which incorporates autobiographical writings, provides a good overview of the life of Walter M. Pierce, a governor of Oregon and Congressman from that same state. Because of the use of the autobiographical writings, there is extremely detailed information about some aspects of Pierce's life that otherwise likely wouldn't have been covered, such as some of the close votes of his early political life. Unfortunately, the author is unable to explain why Pierce moved to Oregon in the first place or why a progressive like Pierce was also such a racist. Still, this is a good overview of the life of an important political figure in Oregon history and provides insight into life in Oregon in the early 20th century. There is also detailed information about the rise of the KKK in the state.
