Delivering the rich history of Oregon as a territory and a state in a neat, pocket-sized package, Oregon's History widely covers the social, economic, political, and cultural nature of the Pacific Northwest and its peoples. Spanning the periods between its first inhabitants forty thousand years ago to the global market age of the twenty-first century, historian and teacher Athanasios Michaels provides a riveting historical narrative of the Beaver State that engages the struggles, victories, failures, and impacts human communities in Oregon have had upon each other and their natural environment, and asks the question of what the people today will do to face the challenges of tomorrow.
