Oregon\'s landscape boasts brilliant waterfalls, towering volcanoes, productive river valleys, and far-reaching high deserts.
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..
This revised and updated edition features a new introduction and epilogue with discussion of climate change, racial disparity, immigration, and discrimination.
Robbins traces the state\'s history of commodification and conservation, despair and hope, progress and tradition.
