Finding a history which mentions our
ancestor is always a welcome find. But histories can tell us
something about our ancestors even when they're not
mentioned by name. What was the political temperament of
their area, who were the "important" people, what social and
political events might have affected their daily lives.
Histories can add a richness to the telling of our
ancestors' lives. For history website other than this one,
visit our links page. If you have
history material to share, please contact the
webmaster.
AS OF 2008, I HAVE A NEW WEBSITE, DEVOTED TO FULL-TEXT OREGON HISTORY BOOKS.
MOST OF THE BELOW WILL BE MOVED TO THAT WEBSITE, AND OTHERS WILL BE ADDED.
