Abstract

Excerpt: "In Oregon's Promise, David Peterson del Mar weaves into the old progressive interpretation of the past-class conflict along economic lines-the new western historian's concern with race, gender, and the environment. The result is an interesting and provocative, if not always balanced, appraisal of the state's history."
