Abstract
The 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.
