2015-06-16 23:04:39| Powells Books Events Calendar
Robert Lewisohn Hamm's Becoming Oregon: From Expedition to Exposition (Mossy Brae Press) collects 150 authentic newspapers, mostly from the East Coast, which featured stories about Oregon during the 100 years between the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804–1806) and the Lewis and Clark Exposition (1905). Hamm's book recounts the fascination with this strange and wondrous land out west — the expedition, the trail, the land, homesteading, statehood, and the world's fair.
