  Modern western Oregon was a crucial site of imperial competition in North America during the formative decades of the United States. This book examines relations among newcomers and between newcomers and Native people - focusing on political sovereignty, religion, trade, sexuality, and the land - from initial encounters to Oregon's statehood.
