I began with a desire to write a history of Churches of Christ in California, but in the opening chapters I kept running into Oregonians who were responding to the California gold rush. Many of these Oregon Christians had already been on the West Coast for several years, preaching in meetings, establishing congregations, and preparing to open Christian schools. The more I learned about their experiences, the more I wanted to know. The sheer priority of the Oregon Christians was the ultimate attraction. They were among the first to carve out a trail, and among the first to die on that trail. They were in the vanguard of those who preached Christ in the western territories, and they were ahead of California Christians in establishing churches and schools. The heroic dimensions of their epic 2000-mile journey across the continent captured my imagination, and I longed to know more about them. So, California was put on hold temporarily, while I made numerous trips to Oregon and became overly familiar with Interstate 5 from Portland to Medford and back. My main source in the beginning was C. F. Swander's Making Disciples in Oregon. When the author published his book in 1928, he closed with this appeal: "I sincerely hope that future historians will keep the work up-to-date, and may be able to correct the inaccuracies in this, so that in the far future generations yet unborn may be better informed as to our progress . ." Then with a note of professional generosity, Swander concluded: I shall have no jealousy in my soul should some future historian excel this work to a degree that it shall be overshadowed. Hoping that this work may inspire some one to make the attempt I gladly write the dosing word. Acknowledgments Swander's work did inspire me to want to know more about our spiritual ancestors, and I completely agree with his sentiments. I too look forward to the day when future historians will build on my research and "correct the inaccuracies." It is a story worth telling, and we can never have too many storytellers. Many debts have been incurred along the way as I have badgered people for information on early Oregon. One of my former students in church history, Bonnie Miller, has been invaluable to this project. Her work as church secretary for the Andresen Road Church of Christ in Vancouver, Washington was often delayed while she responded to my frequent pleas for help. Bonnie was my pipeline to the wonderful resources in the Oregon History Center in Portland, the Clark County Genealogical Society in Vancouver, and numerous other libraries and historical societies. She pursued every lead with tenacity, and much information would have been left undiscovered without her enthusiastic commitment to locating primary source materials. She read the text with a passion for accuracy and assisted in culling out numerous errors. I am grateful to Doug Dornhecker, who was minister of First Christian Church in Lebanon, Oregon at the time, for making it possible for me to obtain a copy of his excellent thesis entitledA History of Annual Meetings of Disciples of Christ in Oregon to 1877. Doug never wearied of showing me cemeteries and old churches and answering endless questions. He generously shared his research on the annual State Meetings in Oregon, and then assisted me in tracking down elusive information on obscure delegates to those meetings. Charles Dailey of Northwest College of the Bible in Portland, and John McKeel, the former minister of the Eastside Church of Christ in Portland, are two of the most knowledgeable sources on the history of the Restoration Movement in Oregon. They have devoted years of study to this field, and they willingly shared their insights with me. Christians on the Oregon Trail Sue Rhee, librarian at Northwest Christian College in Eugene, Melanie Bailey, librarian at Cascade College in Portland, and Lotte Larsen, librarian and archivist at Western Oregon University in Monmouth were helpful in locating rare items. It was Lotte who first introduced me to the three priceless reels of microfilm that contained scattered issues of the Christian Messenger, Pacific Christian Messenger and Christian Herald. One of my most helpful proofreaders on this project has been Jim Cook, a doctoral candidate at the University of Alaska. Jim is especially knowledgeable about the growth and development of the Restoration Movement in the American West, and his careful and thorough reading of this book greatly improved its accuracy. The various county historical societies in Oregon are a gold mine for anyone interested in the nineteenth century. I want to express my special thanks to the following: Olive Johnson, Lila Jackson, Bob Kuykendall and Jim and Reita Lockett of Yamhill County Historical Society; Katherine Johnson, Robert Marsh, Scott McArthur and C.

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Richard P. Matthews for the Master of Arts in History presented 4 November, 1988. Title: Limited Horizons on the Oregon Frontier: East Tualatin Plains and the Town of Hillsboro, Washington county, 1840 - 1890. APPROVED BY MEMBE~~~ THESIS COMMITTEE: David Johns n, ~on B. Dodds Michael Reardon Daniel O'Toole The evolution of the small towns that originated in Oregon's settlement communities remains undocumented in the literature of the state's history for the most part. Those .::: accounts that do exist are often amateurish, and fail to establish the social and economic links between Oregon's frontier towns to the agricultural communities in which they appeared. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate an early settlement community and the small town that grew up in its midst in order to better understand the ideological relationship between farmers and townsmen that helped shape Oregon's small towns.
