".I It would take a dozen volumes to adequately portray the romance, the adventure and the historical events of this region.I have quoted at considerable length, from innumerable pioneers who have given me the little sidelights of history, not usually found in more formal historical works.You will find mistakes, though I have tried to guard against them. You will find omissions, many of which are due to limitations of space. You will find here much unrecorded history -- the narratives of the pioneers of Oregon --the makers of Oregon's history "Fred Lockley (March 19, 1871 - October 15, 1958) was an American journalist best known for his editorial column for the Oregon Journal, "Impressions and Observations of a Journal Man", which appeared throughout the Western United States on a nearly daily basis. Lockley also authored many books which, like his articles, were largely about his travels and interviews with early settlers in the Willamette Valley. It was said that he interviewed 'bullwhackers, muleskinners, pioneers, prospectors, 49ers, Indian fighters, trappers, ex-barkeepers, authors, preachers, poets and near-poets'. He also interviewed Thomas Edison, Booker T. Washington, Ezra Meeker, Woodrow Wilson, Count Tolstoy, General Hugh Scott, Harry Houdini Jack London, and Chief Joseph. (Wiki).
