Hidden History of Portland, Oregon

This book is about the "people's history" of Portland, Oregon--a telling of the too-long overlooked, forgotten, or untold tales of the people who fought and loved and failed and thrived and lived and died in the wild early days of this wild town. It is indeed a people's history, made more rich by Chandler's own insights and reflections. In places Chandler gets too bogged down by statistics or drier facts that slow the pace, but overall, I recommend it in addition to Chandler's Murder and Mayhem in Portland, Oregon.

History well done. It is mostly about the various ethnic groups in town, and their relations. Not a pleasant read for some, but good things to know about my home town.

Love old Oregon History.

It didn’t seem to have a theme or anything that would make you care about the facts presented. I had a hard time getting through it

as advertised

Gift for my husband! He's almost done reading already!

thanks

GOOD WORK, AGAIN, IN IMPORTANT OREGON HISTORY!
