Oregon -- Fiction; Overland journeys to the Pacific -- Fiction; Women pioneers -- Fiction
By “KATHARINE.” With twelve full-page illustrations from photographs.
Square 8vo. $1.25 _net_.
The hours of delight, as well as those of trial, which fall to the lot
of “Katharine,” in creating a home out of the raw materials of nature,
are chronicled with naïve humor, and in a vein of hearty optimism which
will make a universal appeal. This year the eyes of the entire country
are on Oregon, and it is expected that a book of this kind, giving such
an illuminating idea of the country, will be of great interest. The
photographs which illustrate the volume are of remarkable beauty.
From the West to the West
Across the Plains to Oregon
By ABIGAIL SCOTT DUNIWAY. With frontispiece in color. 12mo. $1.50.
A chronicle and remarkable picture of a group of pioneers in their
journeyings across the plains and their subsequent settling in Oregon.
The characters are of the distinctive class of Western emigrant of fifty
years ago, resourceful, independent, and progressive, and in their
conversation and experiences give a vivid account of a phase of American
social life that has passed, as well as foreshadowing the active and
productive period that was to follow. Though a faithful account of an
actual journey, the book is in the form of fiction, and brings the course
of several romances to a successful end.
