Pacific Northwest History Washington Readings in PACIFIC NORTHWEST HISTORY WASHINGTON 1790-1895 Readings in PACIFIC NORTHWEST HISTORY CHuuEs MARVIN GATES Published by the University Bookstore Seattle, Washington 1941 - Litkoprhted In U.S.A. EDWARDS BROTHERS, INC. ANN ARBOR. MICHIGAN 1945 Contemporary records are the stuff from which history is written; they are likewise the materials in which history can be readInterpre- tations of the past, whether they be those of historians, or novehsts, or poets, are at best imaginative writingsOnly in original documents do historical personages speak for themselves Washington is rich in materials of this sortExplorers who made voyages to the north Pacific wrote books about their experiences when they returned home Fur traders kept daily journals an which their journeys through the Indian country and their activities at individual posts were recorded in detailMissionaries wrote diaries and letters Army officers compiled the data gathered during extensive inspection tripsLeadeis of government expeditions submitted elaborate reports Historical sources for the period subsequent to settlement include other types of recordsdiaries and letters of pioneers, and early news- papersPromotion literature is at hand, and books and magazine arti- cles written by tourists and correspondents are accessibleLegislative proceedings are available as well as executive documents which were prepared for the territorial assembly or for the Secretary of the Interior Such materials as these may be found without difficulty in the larger reference libraries, but copies are comparatively rareand many inter- ested readeis do not have the opportunity of enjoying them It is for such persons, and particularly for students of Pacific Northwest history, that the present volume is intended This book necessarily includes only a limited selection of significant materials The choice of items has been somewhat arbitrary, many alter- native passages might have been substituted without changing substan- tially the character of the collectionEach selection should be read a a document which illuminates but does not completely explain the event or the historical movement to which it refers Some passages are valuable for their factual content, while others are interesting chiefly for their point of view Many of them, naturally, betray a lack of insight and historical perspective by reason of their contemporary characterFor that reason they are accompanied by explanatory iotes which indicate their setting and refer the reader to recent research The great majority of selections are copied directly from the primary sourceswhether books, magazine articles, or manuscripts In these cases care has been taken to reproduce literally the original text Misprints and misspellings have been preserved, and bracketed corrections are supplied only where needed to make the meaning clear Certain primary sources have not been available for examination (e g, the Work journal and the diaries of the Walkers). Such materials have been reprinted from the place in which they first appeared in print, and in these cases the brack- eted notations provided 'by the original editors have generally been retained. Several persons have offered valuable counsel and assistance in the preparation of this publication, and the editor gratefully acknowledges his indebtedness to them. Jesse S. Douglas of The National Archives, Ronald Todd of the University of Washington Library, Vernon Carsten- sen of the Central Washington College of Education, Osêar 0. Winther of Indiana University, and Obert Haavik of Grand Coulee High School contributed helpful suggestions concerning selections to be included. Mr. Douglas prepared the Fort Townsend inspection report for publica- tion and supplied the notes thérefor. Mr. Todd rendered countless serv- ices during the editor's preparation of the other notes that appear in the book, creating a debt which can hardly be repaid. Miss Ruth West of. the Lewis and Clark High School in Spokane examined a part of the manuscript and called it to the attention of her workshop group con- ducted in the College of Education, University of Washington, during - the summer session, 1941. The members .of the group considered the materials from the viewpoint of the secondary school teacher and gave kindly encouragement to the enterprise. To Charles W. Smith of the University of Washington Library, to Henry F. Wagner, and to the American Philosophical Society thanks are due for permission to include particular selections, as indicated in the body of the book. Finally, the editor wishes to express his gratitude to Everett I. Rolif of the University of Washington Press for his attention to details of format, to Milton Raoul Mills, also of the Press, who offered numerous editorial suggestions, and to those who gave assistance in pre- paring the manuscript for publication.

  • Outline and Chart Lago Espanol.Ala.4.4.2015
    The Spanish Navigations in the SPANISH LAKE (Pacific Ocean) and their Precedents From the Discovery of the New World (Indies, later America) Spanish explorers threw themselves with “gusto” into further discoverings and expeditions. They carried in their crew not only the “conquerors” and explorers, but also priests, public administrators who would judge the area’s value for colonization, linguists, scientists, and artists. These complete set of crew members charted the coasts, the currents, the winds, the fauna and flora, to report back to the crown for future actions and references. A very important part of the Spanish explorations, is the extent and role of local peoples in Spain’s discoveries. It was the objective of the crown that friendly connections and integration be made. In fact there were “civil wars” among the crown and some “colonizers” to enforce the Laws of Indies which so specified. Today, some of this information has been lost, but most is kept in public and private Spanish Museums, Libraries, Archives and private collections not only in Spain but in the America’s, Phillipines, the Vatican, Germany, Holland, and other european countries, and of course the United States, which over its 200 year existence as a nation, also managed to collect important information of the early explorations. Following is a synopsis of the Spanish adventure in the Pacific Ocean (Lago Español) and its precedents.

Washington, D.C. 20036 [TRANSCRIPT PREPARED FROM TAPE RECORDINGS.] 2 PANEL ONE: Moderator: RON HASKINS, Senior Fellow Economic Studies, Brookings Overview: DONALD HERNANDEZ, Professor of Sociology, University at Albany, SUNY MELVIN NEUFELD, Kansas State House of Representatives, Chairman, Kansas House Appropriations Committee RUSSELL PEARCE, Arizona State House of Representatives, Chairman, Arizona House Appropriations Committee FELIX ORTIZ, New York State Assembly 3 THIS IS AN UNCORRECTED TRANSCRIPT. P R O C E E D I N G S MR. HASKINS: Good morning. My name is Ron Haskins. I'm a senior fellow here at Brookings and also a senior consultant at the Annie Casey Foundation. I'd like to welcome you to today's session on children of immigrant families. The logic of the problem that we're dealing with here is straightforward enough, and I think it's pretty interesting for both people left and right of center. It turns out that we have a lot of children who live in immigrant families in the United States, and a large majority of them are already citizens, even if their parents are not. And again, a large majority of them will stay here for the rest of their life. So they are going to contribute greatly to the American economy for four or five decades, once they get to be 18 or 21, whatever the age might be.

  • Gaytan to Marin Donald Cutter the Spanish Legend, That
    The Spanish in Hawaii: Gaytan to Marin Donald Cutter The Spanish legend, that somehow Spain anticipated all other Europeans in its discovery and presence in most every part of the New World, extends even to the Pacific Ocean area. Spain's early activity in Alaska, Canada, Washington, Oregon, and California reinforces the idea that Spain was also the early explorer of the Pacific Islands. The vast Pacific, from its European discovery in Panama by Vasco Nunez de Balboa, until almost the end of the 18th Century, was part of the Spanish overseas empire. Generous Papal recognition of Spain's early discoveries and an attempt to avert an open conflict between Spain and Portugal resulted in a division of the non-Christian world between those Iberian powers. Though north European nations were not in accord and the King of France even suggested that he would like to see the clause in Adam's will giving the Pope such sweeping jurisdiction, Spain was convinced of its exclusive sovereignty over the Pacific Ocean all the way to the Philippine Islands. Spain strengthened both the Papal decree and the treaty signed with Portugal at Tordasillas by observing the niceties of international law. In 1513, Nunez de Balboa waded into the Pacific, banner in hand, and in a single grandiose act of sovereignty claimed the ocean and all of its islands for Spain. It was a majestic moment in time—nearly one third of the world was staked out for exclusive Spanish control by this single imperial act. And Spain was able to parlay this act of sovereignty into the creation of a huge Spanish lake of hundreds of thousands of square miles, a body of water in which no other European nation could sail in peaceful commerce.

  • Historical Overview
    HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT The following is a brief history of Oregon City. The intent is to provide a general overview, rather than a comprehensive history. Setting Oregon City, the county seat of Clackamas County, is located southeast of Portland on the east side of the Willamette River, just below the falls. Its unique topography includes three terraces, which rise above the river, creating an elevation range from about 50 feet above sea level at the riverbank to more than 250 feet above sea level on the upper terrace. The lowest terrace, on which the earliest development occurred, is only two blocks or three streets wide, but stretches northward from the falls for several blocks. Originally, industry was located primarily at the south end of Main Street nearest the falls, which provided power. Commercial, governmental and social/fraternal entities developed along Main Street north of the industrial area. Religious and educational structures also appeared along Main Street, but tended to be grouped north of the commercial core. Residential structures filled in along Main Street, as well as along the side and cross streets. As the city grew, the commercial, governmental and social/fraternal structures expanded northward first, and with time eastward and westward to the side and cross streets. Before the turn of the century, residential neighborhoods and schools were developing on the bluff. Some commercial development also occurred on this middle terrace, but the business center of the city continued to be situated on the lower terrace. Between the 1930s and 1950s, many of the downtown churches relocated to the bluff as well.

  • Willamette Falls Recertification Review Report 2018
    Willamette Falls (LIHI # 33) Recertification Review Report Introduction and Overview This report reviews the application submitted by Portland General Electric (applicant) to the Low Impact Hydropower Institute (LIHI) for LIHI recertification for the Willamette Falls Hydroelectric Project (Facility) located on the Willamette River in Clackamas County, Oregon. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) relicensed the project (FERC 2233) in 2005 for the operation and maintenance of the 15.18 megawatt run-of-river project. This application review for recertification was conducted using the new, 2nd Edition Handbook that was published in March 2016. Background: The project is located at river mile 26.5 on the Willamette River within the city limits of Oregon City (to the east) and West Linn (to the west) in north-central Oregon, approximately 10 miles from Portland and 40 miles from the Willamette’s confluence with the Columbia River. The project is located in a populated, industrial urban setting at the site of Willamette Falls, a natural waterfall that marks the head of the tidally influenced lower Willamette River. The applicant has operated hydroelectric facilities at the site since 1889. Willamette Falls (the Falls) is a horseshoe-shaped, 40-foot-high, natural waterfall that marks the head of the tidally influenced lower Willamette River. The general project area has been home to hydroelectric generation for more than 125 years, beginning with PGE’s Station A in 1889 and continuing to this day with PGE’s T.W. Sullivan (TWS) Powerhouse, built in 1895. Multiple paper mills have also operated at the Falls for more than a century.
