Highlighting major political figures, campaigns, ballot measures, and the history of legislative sessions, Tom Marsh traces the evolution of Oregon from incorporated territory to a state at the forefront of national environmental and social movements. From Jason Lee’s first letter urging Congress to take possession of the Oregon Country to John Kitzhaber’s precedent-setting third term as governor, from the land frauds of the early 20th century to the state’s land-use planning goals, from the Beach Bill to the Bottle Bill, this book tells Oregon’s story. Featuring interesting trivia, historical photographs, and biographical sketches of key politicians, To the Promised Land is an essential volume for readers interested in Oregon’s history. TOMMARSH taught high school history in Oregon for twenty-eight years. He represented eastern T O M M A R S H Washington County in the state legislature from 1975 to 1979, and has participated in numerous political campaigns over a span of nearly fifty years.

The same might be said of the venerable case, Pennoyer v. Neff.2 Over 100 years after issuing Pennoyer the Supreme Court is still laboring to articulate a coherent doctrine of personal jurisdiction within the framework established by that opinion. Recently, the Court has become particularly interested in personal jurisdiction and has dealt with the issue seven times in the last four years. 3 Yet despite this growing body of case law, the doctrinal underpinnings remain elusive. The Court continues to treat geographic boundaries as central to the interests protected by personal jurisdiction, but has never satisfactorily explained why they are so central or what interest the doctrine of personal jurisdiction is intended to protect.

  • Death and Oregon's Settler Generation
    PETER BOAG Death and Oregon’s Settler Generation Connecting Parricide, Agricultural Decline, and Dying Pioneers at the Turn of the Twentieth Century AT 9:30 ON THE MORNING of June 20, 1895, the eight-year-old Linn County Pioneer Association convened in Brownsville, Oregon, for the second day of its annual reunions. Events that morning included the yearly roll call of members who had passed away since the previous year’s gathering. The three-person “Committee on the Death of Members of This Association” read a tribute as part of the occasion. It began: Pioneers of Linn County we have been Permitted to meet again and receive Happy Greeting. But amidst our glad Hand Shakes and cordial greetings there is a sadness and Heartache when we recall so many familiar Faces whom we were wont to see in our annual reunions. Who Have answered the Roll Call of the Death Angel and Have gone to their Eternal Home. Death has made sad Inroads Among our Sturdy Pioneers. Many who were with us the Past two and one year ago will meet with us no more on Earth. We are fast Passing Away. A few more years and the last Pioneer Shall have gone to his final reward. But we acknowledge the Divine hand in th[i]s garnering in the Ripened Sheaves and will not repine. We extend our most earnest Sympathy to loved ones thus bereaved and would admonish all to be ready for the last roll call. The committee then submitted the names of a dozen recently departed.1 Although the cause and mood of the annual reunion of the Linn County pioneers was celebratory and forever cheerful, the annual roll call of an ever- increasing number of the dead cast more than a moment of melancholy over the occasion, as the so-called Committee on Death made abundantly clear.

Gill & Co. and by Sam Adolph. These two buildings are in the heart of the original business district of Salem. The Gill Building (1868) is west of the Adolph Block (1880), and they share a staircase. The Gill building was later referred to as the Paulus Building, as it was acquired by Christopher Paulus in 1885; both Robert and Fred Paulus were born upstairs in the building. The Adolph Building was erected by Sam Adolph following a fire that destroyed the wooden buildings on the site; the architect was J.S. Coulter. References to articles in the Daily American Unionist from April 23, 1868 through September 8, 1868 describe the four new brick buildings under construction on State and Commercial Streets. Thes buildings are the intended new homes for the businesses of J.K. Gill & Co., Charley Stewart, Durbin & Co., and Governor Wood's new dwelling. Progress is periodically described. Finally, the first ten days of September, 1868, the moves appear complete and advertisements indicate the items they will carry. Another article in the September 8, 1868 issue indicates that Story and Thompson are moving a house lately occupied by J.K. Gill and Co. to the eastern edge of the lot so that when it is time to construct additional brick buildings, there will be space.
