At the End of the Car Line, published in 1942 by Binfords & Mort in Portland, Oregon, is a collection of editorial sketches, essays, and verses originally written by Ben Hur Lampman for The Oregonian, where he was a longtime columnist and associate editor. Lampman, a celebrated Oregon writer and the state’s poet laureate from 1951 until his death in 1954, was known for his lyrical yet accessible style, capturing the everyday life and natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. This book reflects his versatility as a writer—blending prose and poetry to explore themes close to his heart.
