Oregon

Discover the overlooked guideposts of Oregon history. Following the example of suffragist Abigail Scott Duniway, Portland women have been reimagining the world since the town was little more than a speck on a map. Newberg played a crucial role in the passage to statehood.  And despite being thousands of miles from the front lines, an influx of Civil War veterans irrevocably altered the trajectory of the Beaver State. From Bend sawmills to Woodlawn streetcars to Eugene wineries, reconnoiter Oregon history with our Oregon history books. [View all Oregon books]
