Oregon's landscape boasts brilliant waterfalls, towering volcanoes,
productive river valleys, and far-reaching high deserts. People
have lived in the region for at least twelve thousand years, during
which they established communities; named places; harvested fish,
timber, and agricultural products; and made laws and choices that
both protected and threatened the land and its inhabitants. William
G. Robbins traces the state's history of commodification and
conservation, despair and hope, progress and tradition. This
revised and updated edition features a new introduction and
epilogue with discussion of climate change, racial disparity,
immigration, and discrimination. Revealing Oregon's rich social,
economic, cultural, and ecological complexities, Robbins upholds
the historian's commitment to critical inquiry, approaching the
state's past with both open-mindedness and a healthy dose of
skepticism about the claims of Oregon's boosters.
