Eastern Oregon books and print an annotated and historical bibliography
|
Published as an annotated historical bibliography by Wayne Kee, Eastern Oregon Books and Print catalogs the diverse literary output, regional imprints, and historical texts documenting the high desert and mountain landscapes of eastern Oregon. The work compiles comprehensive descriptions of rare books, pamphlets, and promotional literature ranging from early exploration journals and settlement guides to local histories and indigenous accounts. By structuring these bibliographic entries chronologically and topically, the text maps how print culture mirrored the region's economic and social transformation from an isolated frontier into an organized agrarian and resource-based society. A keen insight drawn from the work is how regional bibliographies function as meta-histories of ideological expansion; the catalog reveals that the printed word was not merely a passive record of eastern Oregon's development, but an active promotional tool deliberately used to tame an intimidating arid landscape into a welcoming destination for homesteaders and investors. |
