Rh Although only a few individual books are considered here, description, if the best of it were dug out of the old newspapers and magazines, would form the bulkiest portion of Oregon literature, exceeding even the history and going greatly beyond the fiction and poetry. One woman put her homesteading experiences in a book which the Chicago publishers remember 30 years later as having been popular. A visiting poet spent seven weeks on the Willamette in a flat bottomed boat and made the adventure into a charming volume. In many interesting ways the material has been used, but the quantity is so great and so varied that there still remain all sorts of delightful unwritten books.
