The Northwest Indians’ Resistance to Conquest
By Kurt R. Nelson
(Paper, 280 Pages) This is a new study of the seven years from 1853 to
1859 in Oregon history that is the period that the Oregon territory was being

were soon to learn that despite what treaties promised they would have little

way of life. It is the story of the clash of cultures and the aftermath that
shaped the course of history.
