Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes an in-depth look at Lane County, Oregon from the vantage point of 1916. Exploring the local economy, public infrastructure, and community life through a variety of lenses, the author considers how lumber, agriculture, physical geography, and immigration converged to shape daily life. Whilst the report was initiated by the Presbyterian Country Church Work, its findings were endorsed by various religious organisations and the University of Oregon across denominational lines. The author discusses the challenges facing Lane County, including poor road conditions, inadequate drainage, and an influx of immigrants, along with notable efforts to address these issues through organisations like the Pomona Grange. The book paints a rich picture of life in the area one hundred years ago, examining how the past informed the present day of its writing, and providing a valuable resource for both historians and modern-day residents.
