McDonald of Oregon

By EVA EMERY DYE. A Tale of Two Shores. I2mo, 395 P a g es &gt; w th six full-page pictures by Walter J. Enright. $1.50.

Mrs. Dye has now established her unequalled position as the historian-novelist of the Northwest. She has developed the possibili ties of history in fiction form farther than any other American writer.

Ranald McDonald was an impressive figure in a momentous period of our history. He was a prominent factor of the Hudson s Bay Company, and was identified with the early movements concern ing the accession of the Oregon Territory by the United States.

The chance casting away of a party of Japanese on the Oregon coast many years ago inspired McDonald to enact a similar drama in his own proper self with the characters and continents reversed. In Japan he was permitted to establish a school, and it was actually his pupils who acted as interpreters during the negotiations with Com modore Perry.

His sturdy life was itself a romance of extraordinary interest; that of a pioneer who had to make a way against obstacles unknown to-day.

Mrs. Dye learned her facts from McDonald s own lips, and only deferred publication until his papers finally reposed in her hands.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer expresses the general sentiment of the press, in the following estimate of this remarkable book :

"It is like the telling of some grand old epic, to show the spirit of those men who blazed the trail to an unknown wilderness."
