Many are often portrayed in textbooks and promotional documents as "founding fathers" and "fathers of industry," altruistic to the utmost degree. It's very refreshing to see them as young men, full of emotion and temperament, just trying to do the best for their families and neighbors in the times in which they lived.</i>"Salem Breakfast on Bikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15618055627843335993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666195730630249633.post-92101134406129620912018-02-04T13:04:13.798-08:002018-02-04T13:04:13.798-08:00There will be a talk later this month!
OSCF Speak...There will be a talk later this month!<br /><br />OSCF Speaker Series Presents: Barbara S. Mahoney<br /><br />Thursday, February 22, Noon, Hearing Room C, Free<br /><br />Join author Barbara S. Mahoney and learn about the Salem Clique. During the decade of the 1850s, the Oregon Territory progressed toward statehood in an atmosphere of intense political passion and conflict. Editors of rival newspapers blamed a group of young men whom they named the “Salem Clique” for the bitter party struggles of the time. Led by Asahel Bush, editor of the Oregon Statesman, the Salem Clique was accused of dictatorship, corruption, and the intention of imposing slavery on the Territory. This is free and open event sponsored by the Capitol History Gateway, a project of the Oregon State Capitol Foundation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
