Among the many interesting chapters in the history of our country's development, none possesses greater attraction than that which deals with the vast territory of which Oregon forms a part, from its occupation by a handful of British trappers to its acquisition by the United States. The struggle between Great Britain and the United States for the valuable possession, and the part played by McLoughlin of the Hudson's Bay Company, are here set forth in a most enjoyable narrative. The author has given an exceedingly vivid account of the picturesque life in the mountains; of the trappers, the Indians, and the missionaries, regarding all of which she has had unusual facilities for acquiring information. Readers will be delighted with the narrative, which, while historically accurate and valuable, possesses all the attractiveness of a romance. "In 'McLoughlin and Old Oregon' Eva Emery Dye has undertaken the task of chronicler. She knows the history of Oregon like her alphabet, and writes with the assurance of knowledge. Satisfied to leave to other narrators the dry duty of setting out in precise order and with circumstantial detail the events which led to the occupation of the Northwest by the United States, she sketches with light but sure touch the years from 1832 to the retirement of the English in 1857. Truthful to history, the book yet has the richer coloring of romance. It is an exceedingly good specimen of the chronicle form of historic narrative, and furnishes much information of the methods of the Hudson's Bay Company and the occupation of Oregon."-Evening Telegraph, Philadelphia. "There is a charm about McLoughlin and Old Oregon' that is rare in books of the kind. The author has adorned her chronicle with a delightful imagery, and has created an atmosphere that will carry the reader back sixty years, and make him see, in flesh and blood, those daring men and women who were not only brave enough to venture into a wild country, beset with dangers unknown, but were also brave enough to remain when these dangers presented themselves in all their hideousness. She makes him see them as individuals, and their personal experiences and relations become intensely interesting under her deft and sympathetic treatment. * * The material is handled with a neatness, a vigor, and an artistic touch that make every page of the book a delight."-Chicago Tribune. "Much of Mrs. Dye's book is descriptive of the domestic life of these early settlers. Inevitably it has, in these passages, the qualities of an imaginative work. But there is always a strong foundation of fact, and some of the chapters are more interesting than most of the recent novels."- New York Times Saturday Review.
