This is a beautiful book which will interest anyone researching Oregon history. The photographs are large and colorful and explained with great care. As a matter of fact, any history buff might enjoy looking through this book to see what time does to place.

Beautiful and provocative on several levels, this book shows the varied environments of Oregon at two points in time. The book constitutes an important historic document. Comparisons of the photos also lead the reader to ponder the effects of growth and development on the landscape and to wonder about the future of The Beaver State. Let's hope that when a future photographer sets up a camera at the same benchmarks, he or she records the effects of good decisions Oregonians make about growth and land use today.

Wonderful book! The pictures show how Oregon loooked in the past and how it has changed.

A must for any one that is interested in the History of the state. You do not want to put it down once you have started to read It. It gives a great perspective of how our State has changed yet maintained much of the beauty that brought people here to begin with.
