During the sixteenth century, European explorers sighted the Oregon coast and wrote about it. The region would be opened to settlement through the Hudson’s Bay Company and later as a result of the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1805. By 1859, the Oregon Territory was set to join the Union as the 33rd state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the next two centuries, the opening of navigable rivers and bays to steamships, the arrival of the railroads, and in the twentieth century the advent of roads and highways helped cities like Portland, Eugene, Salem, and Medford, as well as the state’s smaller communities, grow and prosper. The pioneers and settlers who came to the region worked at logging, lumber milling, fishing, farming and ranching, mining, and salmon canning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNearly 200 images, all published in vivid black-and-white with captions and introductions, make \u003cem\u003eHistoric Photos of Oregon\u003c\/em\u003e a compelling look at the history of this intriguing and picturesque state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- amazon-buylink --\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eWe earn a commission for purchases made through the following links.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1596525568\/ref=nosim?tag=tpcecomm-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\"\u003eshop for this title at Amazon\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- \/amazon-buylink --\u003e\u003c!-- bookshop-buylink --\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/book\/9781596525566\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003eshop for this title at Bookshop.org\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- \/bookshop-buylink --\u003e","brand":"William Stack","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43347412680920,"sku":"9781596525566","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/7786\/8475\/files\/9781596525566_FChigh_mockup_v2_1664384478_db8d9caa-3177-4a0f-8701-faef649f7216.jpg?v=1791054239"}],"url":"https:\/\/turnerpublishing.com\/collections\/author-william-stack.oembed","provider":"Turner Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
