 "The second edition of Oregon Geograhic Names was published in 1944, sixteen years after the first edition. The second edition was an enlargement upon the first and this third edition is an enlargement upon the second. Lewis A. McArthur was ever active in collecting new names, checking data, and seeking additional information for the next edition of his book. His death, on November 8, 1951, occurred before he had completed work on this last edition. He had not time to prepare a new preface; consequently the one used in the 1944 edition is here presented. However, he had completed the editing of all the material in the body of the text.
