This was the first book printed in the "Oregon Country," so far as known, aside from the small pamphlets issued by the Mission Press, Lapwai, 1839-1845. The writer learned of its publication twenty-five years ago, and began the effort at once to secure it, but did not succeed until September of this year, when this copy was donated to the Society by Cyrus H. Walker, Albany, Oregon. The book was originally the property of Emeline Stewart, who was a student at Forest Grove in early days, and evidently gave it to Abigail B. Walker, now Mrs. Karr, Hoquiam, Wash., a sister of Mr. Walker. George H. Himes.]
