Oregon East, Oregon West

Theodor Kirchhoff wrote many pieces about the American West for nineteenth-century German magazines; among them were excellent and insightful articles about Oregon. In this volume seventeen of his best are published in English for the first time. Kirchhoff offers a cornucopia of information about those early times, rendering many profiles of picaresque characters and rough towns....Kirchhoff did live in Oregon for a time, owning a store in The Dalles. His essays give life to that town, as well as Portland, the Willamette Valley and southern Oregon. The influence of new mining strikes in both Oregon and Idaho are among the fascinating tales. --- from book's back cover
