Malouf, Naseeb Mahfoud2024-04-172024-04-171951-06https://hdl.handle.net/1794/29346111 pagesThe writer has attempted to trace, in this paper, the coming of Asahel Bush to Oregon and the part he played in its growth as a territory and in its creation and further maturation as a state. Intermingled in the story are the activities of many of his friends and enemies. No attempt has been made to separate into a single tale the activities of Mr. Bush for his story is the story of the Oregon Democracy; any attempt to segregate a single portion would render such an attempt sterile.en-USCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USUO theses and dissertations are provided for research and educational purposes and may be under copyright by the author or the author’s heirs.
