About this title

Synopsis:

Here Joe Meek continues his collaboration with Frances Fuller Victor, telling the story of his own colorful life and the tale of his times. This is a memoir that has proved immediately and endearingly popular upon its publication more than a century ago through the present day. In this volume, Meek is shown is his roles as pioneer, sheriff, U. S. Marshall, even legislator--Citizen Joe. Through Meek's pungent recollections, his engaging memoir also becomes an important history of Oregon's turbulent formative years--the struggles of the missionaries, the other early settlers, the Hudson's Bay Company, and the Indians that shaped a territory and finally a state.
