"Oregon, This Storied Land" tells many of the stories that uncover the broad, sweeping history of the state of Oregon, rich with complex social, economic, cultural and ecological meaning.  The stories of the people who have lived on the Oregon landscape, established communities, built railroads, harvested fish and timber and made laws that both protected and threatened the land.

William G. Robbins, Emeritus Distinguished Professor of History at Oregon State University is one of the Pacific Northwest's most respected scholars and in this book he unravels the complexities and uncovers the riches of all the stories that make up the history of a state that has resisted being made into a stereotype.
