About this title

About the Author:

Edwin D. Culp was born in Portland, Oregon, November 11, 1913. He spent his entire life in this state. He graduated from Washington High School in Portland and the University of Oregon at Eugene. He was an enthusiastic historian and collector of early photographs particularly of the Pacific Northwest. His interest in this subject was created as a result of his grandparents coming to Oregon via the covered wagon and settling in the Willamette Valley.

Review:

Taken as a whole, the volume clearly illustrates the major impact that improved transportation had on all Oregonians as the rural frontier state was transformed into an urban-dominated society in less than a generation. -- Kent D. Richards, The Pacific Historian, Stockton, CA, Spring 1982
