The peripatetic Friedman is one of Oregon's great resources, and this, his magnum opus, is probably the most exhaustive and engaging travel guide to the region ever produced. It is strong on history, literature, mythology, folklore, anecdotal material and personal profiles, all oriented to specific places and to the state as a whole. Just one particularly rewarding feature is the regular contrasting of towns and hamlets in the year 1915 to the contemporary setting. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
