Abstract
This study endeavors to show the part played in Oregon
during the years 1851-1913 by Asahel Bush, pioneer editor,
politician, and banker.
The writer has made use of the plentiful source
material available for the territorial period. The correspondence
which the editor of the Statesman carried on
with many men in Oregon has been fairly well preserved.
Contemporary newspapers, particularly the Oregonian and the
Argus, supplement the information about the political life,
economic interests, and various activities gleaned from the
Statesman. The papers of the territorial government give
much reliable information. These are available for study
in the Oregon Historical Library, Portland, Oregon.
